Back story – my wife knows absolutely nothing about sports. She knows I am a Chicago Cubs guy and collect Chicago Cubs. I am primarily a vintage baseball guy who quit collecting modern years ago but still like to open packs occasionally. She asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Since we are at the age where we don’t really need anything I told her to get me some packs to open. Christmas morning she told me to open my gift and to open them while she cooked. So I opened my package and there was a box of 2025 Holiday Basketball. She apparently thought that only baseball came in packs and went to a store and asked for a box of cards. So – I do not collect basketball at all. I do not want to tell her the box she got was not baseball as I do not want to hurt her feelings. I would like to try and trade these rather than just store them away for a while and then eliminate them. So, besides the Cubs I have listed, I would take any Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox or New York Mets. I am putting albums together for my grand and great grand kids.

I would prefer a big trade all at once rather than onesies and twosies, in fact I would like to send them all off to one person.

[finestkind]

Back around 1990 or so, I decided that I need a hobby. I asked my wife if I could collect baseball cards. She gave me that wife look and said. "You don't even follow sports" I don't. But I need something to do in my limited spare time. And back then we had a little extra money. Of course, she said yes. Bless her soul. I bought all kinds of junk wax and whatever caught me eye. Then around 1995 or so I started building Topps baseball sets. I finished a few. So when ever she would ask me to move my cards off of our shared desk. I would remind her that it was all her fault in the first place. She was the greatest.
