I got out when my card collecting budget became diapers and daycare budget for my then newborn, now 4 1/2 year old. I am relegated to a couple boxes a year now... usually birthday and the holidays. My son expresses interest in my cards, but he is too young for me to give him anything but commons...
Okay, thank you for the info! I know another member had also pulled one years back... can't remember exactly who... maybe Jaypers??? We both had ours graded and both got a 9.5. I think whoever it was also held onto it at the time.

Full of anxiety is almost an understatement. My wife was already prone to high anxiety before we had the stillborn. During this pregnancy, she would have a panic attack if she didn't feel him move for an hour, or if he was moving too much and she feared he would get tangled in his cord, or if...
