.....for being such a swell guy. (swell being an understatement and sarcastic adjective) ;)

Anyway, backstory.....a while back Anthony pm's me asking for any laporta cards I may have b/c he might try to get some autos at a game. After I got home from work I searched and only had 3 a couple of chromes and a bow. gold but told him he could have them. Since he was leaving the next day, we arranged for me to meet his mom that night to give her the cards. When we met, she told me of the impending plans to have Matt Laporta meet him in the hospital after is surgery, hang out, sign some stuff, etc. Yes, this was the meet and greet w/ Laporta that we all got to hear about. We tried to meet up at a local show, but our schedules didn't permit. Few weeks later Anthony said he had a thank you card and needed my address and I was not to say no. So this week I get a thank you card from him and inside...

Anthony, thanks man. You did NOT need to do this. I'm not sending them back, ;) , but you really didn't....for this kid ( and I say kid loosely ;) ) to keep the attitude he has with all he's been through shows you what he's all about. Thanks for the read.

Awesome! I just completed a trade with Anthony and he's, well, SWELL. :lol:

ALSO AN FYI: If you give those cards a good buffin' with a nylon stocking (no jokes please) before having them signed the autos will adhere much better.

Haven't been on in a few days, but I'm really glad these got to you safely. I actually had that envelope with me at the show and I dropped it on the floor and thought I had lost it, but someone thankfully turned it in to the mall security guard guy. Couldn't have gone to a better guy. :)
