I will share the whole story.
I go to the mailbox because I have been waiting for a package that meant something to me. When I open the mailbox I see my package has arrived. However, another box is in there as well so I am a little confused and actually concerned/confused because I can't remember what I bought.
Well, I bust the first package and there is something I have wanted to add to my personal collection for a long time. A Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) autograph direct from his wife. It is from my favorite scene in all three movies. I have coached youth basketball for sixteen years and my first "coaching" role model was this character in "The Karate Kid".
Well then I bust open the mystery Priority Mail box and see this note and box......................................................................................
I was just stunned and went into my wife and explained what just happened and she was just as stunned.
The feeling of opening this and realizing somebody from the boards cared that much was the real gift. Well, that and the actual note. The words can not express how appreciative I am.
The 1985 Fleer set was the first set I built. I was eight years old and remember it like it was yesterday.
Just a great day! Thank You and how did you get my mailing address?

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
