and I have chosen! I want a 1951 bowman Mays in a psa 7! I have always loved this card, and want a nice sharp 7. I don't mind a bit OC, but love sharp corners. I don't mind a slight wax stain on the back, btw....

Now, the tricky part. Does anyone have one for sale? LMK! If I can't find one, I would chose a 53 topps mays in a psa 7!

    Brian,

    That's all she is getting you? Too bad, most of our wives spend MUCH MORE than $4,000.00 on our presents! LOL

    Good luck finding one you love! (A card that is)
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Brian, i recommend you also add to your present a trip to The National next year. (you could work the "i need to find it there" angle)

    i turned 40 this year, and treated myself to going to the show this past summer and was able to find many many needed cards

    She is a total rockstar for this gesture, among many other reasons!

    I turned 40 in 1988 however I can not remember that far back.I do know it was sports related.I think it may have been the Mantle/Maris plaque with an 8x10 picture of them which is autographed on two separate index cards below the picture.At that time COA were not that prevelant so my guess looking at other autographs of the two they are legit.

    Brian ... a $4,000.00 gift and in the title of the thread you use "The" wife? Do you need a $10,000.00 gift before you change it to "MY" wife? lol

    Brian, I cant believe you didnt say a signed 51 Bowman or 52 Topps Mantle!
  • BkritzBkritz Posts: 1,093 ✭✭
    Darn it, Barry! Now I want a signed one too! Doug, my word choice was poor! MY wife rocks! Jeff, you are selfish to not sell me that 53 mays! Downright rude, in fact! image
