[Franny-j-boy]

You made my day as i read this post and just pictured how you both enjoyed your evening. Since i don't have any children, I knew I wanted my prized collection to go to someone who I knew had the passion and love for the game I grew up having. Not to mention I wanted someone to take care of it like I did as it was my one treasure I loved the most. I know I found that in lil Aric, and with A.J as a mentor, I know it is in great hands. When I was a kid my uncle gave me a bunch of old baseball cards in this big huge box. At the time i thought i would see players in the box like Johnny bench, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose. However, when i looked through I did not even know who the heck any of them players were or anything. I did not want them so my older cousin took them off my hands real quick, as i did not know the value of them or was not told the value of them when my uncle gave them to me. To this day i regret giving them away as i probably gave away a fortune; but because my uncle never said anything ,I did not know any better. I told myself that if i ever gave anything away I would let that person know that it is valuable and to take ultimate care of it. I know now that I don't have to say a word after reading this A.J.. I want to thank you for being you. You are great for this hobby we love. You're a great friend, and an awesome dad.
Here are a few pics of Aric's teams i painted up many years ago. Not bad for using a needle to paint the helmets and stripes.
