Thanks, nyc3. I stumbled on the 2nd Aaron photo yesterday. It's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm also going to get some Mantles since that was my dad's favorite player.
First of all, I remember watching this play either live or on SportsCenter when it happened. Jeter definitely deserved an Oscar for that one.
Secondly, Jeter shows exactly why soccer players *flop. The risk/reward ratio encourages players to dive for calls as set pieces near the goal provide...

Best present ever!
Any other card-related presents today for you fathers?
Pretty cool to see a GT guy win the auction (my alma mater). Hopefully, he gets his money's worth in a few gems. Otherwise, he just bought himself a $700 headache/heartache.
I buy several $0.99 cards from eBay (typically to complete a set) and for something worth that little, I have have virtually zero expectations for shipping protection. I generally expect a solo card to be in a penny sleeve but a top loader is somewhat of a bonus to me. I definitely do not...
