I wanted to get him/give him something he'd never forget and love.
Well, in 1973, my father got tickets to the World Series (Mets vs A's). He only got 2 and well, took my older brother. I was promised if the Mets ever got back into the WS, I would go. Of course, 13 years later (1986), I reminded my father, who could not get tickets.
Sadly, my Dad died in 1988. He was only 50.

I found my brother's ticket stub in a box and PSA was kind enough to let me add a personalized message -- WS game with Dad, priceless.

We collected together when we were kids...and he got me into collecting....although he's not a collector, he loves baseball and appreciates all it has to offer ....he's only 3 years older, but when you're young, 3 years is a lifetime.....I collected as a kid from 71-82...got back in from 88-91...dropped out again, but his boys got into cards and that got me back in around 2006/2007... I've been back ever since ....
Looks like a O Pee Chee rough cut!
<< <i>We were poor so we went to Shea as kids when we collected enough Dairylea coupons from the 1/2 gallon milk cartons. Either the games would get rained out or it would be like an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of the big red machine. I didn't care. We were all together at the game! >>
So were we. It took us all year collecting coupons and asking neighbors to get 5 tickets. We would usually get a giveaway day in Sept.
