Well , I know I am not alone in saying that Randy is just one incredible collector , one look at his threads will show ya that , oh and his name under his Avatar is correct as well ,
***** Master Collector *****
Anyway , Randy knew my son's birthday was coming up and as he always has he sent him an absolutely mind blowing gift , Yesteday he got a package and right away he knew who it came from , though I wasn't here to see his initial reaction, my wife told me all about it , him running all through the house screamin OMG, OMG look what Randy sent me !, calling up all his friends to check it out , then he called me and even though I already knew it was coming I was still excited
A PSA graded 1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle was hiding in the package that Randy sent for my son , it is a PSA 1 , but only because probably the prevoius owner had pinned it to the wall , the card is otherwise perfect and for people that have no intention on reselling , it is as good as a PSA 10 , just to have this card is amazing as , we do not have any original Mickey mantles in this hous , well until Yesterday
That on top of all of the 1950 Bowman Football , the 1941 Playball , countless autographed cards , countless boxes of baseball cards , all of the Pins , Medals , coins , military patches , the airplane he made with his own hands and the list goes on , I know I am forgetting things but he has sent so much it is hard to keep track .
Thank you once again randy , for making my boy happy on his Birthday . . .LOL and meeee tooooo .

Thanks for keeping collecting fun, Rube!

Constantly giving , in so many ways .
I have to say though , viewing all of his threads , the things I love the most are his Old Military uniforms , in absolutely perfect condition , those to me are very interesting on so many levels , to think about the men that wore them and the action they have seen , they're all still locked up in the fabric and no-one could ever remove them . . .I think about those uniforms deeply , almost as if it were a time machine , all of the cards , and autographs are really nice , but those uniforms seem to shake me into thought .
I'm still trying to figure out what we did to deserve such a friend ?
What an incredible gift! Randy, you are 1st class all the way!

Indeed , His museum is far beter than some we visit and pay money to see and that is what it really is , a museum , there are so many different things he collects , there are so many different things he does . . .LOL, especially under the cover of darkness , but we won't go there

I really don't know anyone who would "GIVE" a card like this away , not to mention the countless other cards and stuff he has sent in the past .
My son woke up this morning and went to look for the card, I said whatcha doin man , he told me . . .
" I just wanted to make sure I wasn't having a dream "
Now that says so much in just a few little words , it lets you know a lot about what a 10 yr old kid thinks of such a gift , i know a lot of kids that would have got this card and just basically ignored it , thinkin , oh it's just some old card , but my son does have a special appreciation for stuff like this and I think Randy knows it .

LOL @ punching someone in the face who says different .
I don't think anyone can say different , unless they're on some serious medication , as for the card , thanks for the offer Lee , but # 1 it isn't mine .
#2 It came from a good friend and just became his single most favorite baseball card he would never let it go .

He sent me a dozen high numbers i needed to complete my 1961 topps set no charge. and they werent beaters either.
MY GOLD TYPE SET https://pcgs.com/setregistry/type-sets/complete-type-sets/gold-type-set-12-piece-circulation-strikes-1839-1933/publishedset/321940
I guess underneath all that camouflage lies a heart of gold.
You rock Randy!
I hope your boy had a great birthday TNT. From what you wrote, sounds like he had one of his best ever.
I am sure this isnt the case as Randy has taken the time to help me with some addresses for autographs and other information this past year. He has always been willing to help me out and I consider him one of the best things about this board!!
You are the best Randy!!

looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started

LOL, now that right there is funny ,
Have you ever seen his walls !?
He's got all kinds of Crazy weapons hangin on his walls , I remeber seeing a grenade launcher , I think he uses that to hunt beaver , rabbit and the occasional possum .
I also remember seeing an AK hangin on the wall with a bunch of old Flags and a bandolier . . . .man all kinds of war stuff , I'm telin ya , it is like a museum ! probably even better , imagine what I haven't seen . . . LOL, that is the scary part , Imagine the secretive stuff , Like ears . . .teeth , and scalp collections
i know whats in that box thats funny anthony, you should open in matt, i cant stand not to open something, unless its a 88 donruss box pack lol
back to sorting cards for ther b/s/t/ extraziganza, ive sold 17 boxes of fb and baseball now in a day, im running out of packing stuff lol, i need to steal a bagladys bags bad!!!!!!!!!!
paul-clayton bigby, im tellin ya,i heard he sent you something
glad lil anthony like it tnt, my dad never gave me anything but a see ya, and i dont remember that lol
all i remeber is em calling me at base and asking what they wanted me to do with him when he was on life support, told em i didnt really care, dont come begging after 45 years for me to do someting to a guy that was supposed to be my dad i saw twice or so in my whole life
I salute you, my friend, for an absolutely astonishing gift to a very appreciate young man.
What I find special about that particular card is thinking that another young man, probably 50+ years ago, also must have loved that same card enough to poke a couple of holes in it just to display it on his bedroom wall.
My father NEVER let me do that with any of my Mantles back then. I do remember tacking a few Aarons and Clementes though.
Truly a great gesture from a great guy!

I am pretty new to these boards, but I just wanted to say what a class act that was sending this young man that MANTLE card. I am sure he is going to remember opening up that package for the rest of his life.
Stay Healthy!
