A Big Smile!

I know I haven't been posting a lot lately, or even minimally. I have no excuse, except for Life. Sometimes it intervenes.

I have, however, continued to trade and even buy and sell a few cards. Recently, I came upon a card I just had to have. Have you ever come across one of those? You know the card. A player you collect. Maybe your team. Something so incredible that money was no object, or at least you were willing to pay a little more than you normally would.

Well, I had to have this card:

I don't know about you, but it certainly made me smile.

Not only is it a Thome autograph, which I would gladly take, but it is one of the most unique patches, aside from the Cubs' bear rump, I have ever seen. How much more perfect could this card be?!!? Not only is it a larger size patch, but it is a well-designed card with a well-placed sticker auto that is not simply stuck onto the front, but embedded in the card. This one is going right into the PC.
