I had LASIK yesterday and, for the first time ever, have 20/20 vision. Before the surgery I couldn't even read the big "E" on the chart. To celebrate this I would like to see your favorite card. It can be a PSA 10 '52 Topps Mantle or a balled up Kevin Maas rookie, as long as it is your favorite I want to see it. Mine is a 1953 Topps Roy Campanella. Not my most expensive card but it is the first vintage card I received when I started collecting.

    I would consider that if I hadn't just dropped $3,400 into my eyes. I will be lucky to pick up a pack of 1988 Donruss to open right now. image

    That is a sweet card. I actually went to college with Mr. Howard. Never got to meet him but we both went to Missouri State at the same time. I did play video games with the catcher for his team but I don't guess that counts. image

    I know a guy on the east side of St. Louis that could have done it for 1/5th of that out of the back of his van. He would have also thrown in a free boob job for your wife/girlfriend. image

    Awesome cards (and other items) guys. $3,400 may be a lot to payfor this surgery but I think it costs more the more they have to correct. I had -10 in both eyes. Right now I would have paid just about anything to get these results. Though the guy that can do it for a $1,000 and throw in a boob job for my wife is tempting....
