Apparently, our very own Eric won a box of Heritage from Topps (via Twitter):

Fun with Photoshop...

Took scan off eBay listing for unopened buyback pack:

Opened it in photoshop, adjusted levels severely.

Can tell from visual clues card is:

Did this for several auctions on eBay - but didn't find anybody good. Could help find a Zimmer or Nicholson. Am I pack searching? One thing is sure, I won't be buying any buyback lots - too easily searched!

Now that's a quality use of Photoshop right there. Nicely done.

Good evening all!
Charlie - Congrats on picking up a buy back of your grandpa!!!!! :D :D
We had a small ceremony today for a 92 year old WWII veteran who had trained here at Tyndall AFB in 1943.
He was a tail gunner on a B29 that flew 24 combat missions over Europe before it was shot down in 1944 over Holland.
After the presentation, there was a receiving line so we could meet him.
When it was my turn, I shook his hand and thanked him for his service as part of the Greatest Generation.
He asked me what I did and I told him I was retired AF and he then thanked me for my service.
I mentioned that nothing I did during my career could hold a candle to his service record.
He looked me in the eye and said that's how he felt about all his buddies that didn't make it home.
Today, I met an honest to goodness hero in the truest sense of the word.

God, I love WWII vets. One of the great regrets of my life is that I didn't take the time to meet some of them and help tell their stories while more were still alive.

I very rarely get awe struck, but today, I was.
You could see in his eyes he remembered every detail of every mission, even at 92.
