Another one of my favorite things to do is to give some of my cards to my son Grady to see what he does.
One of Grady's favorite things to do is to see how much of the card he can fit into his mouth. Never very much at first, but the kid is nothing if not tenacious.
2 of the cards I received in the last pack made their way to Grady and he treated them accordingly. I'd link to the post, but it's right there man. Just look down.
Here is the first one. He got Seitzer because I figured I still had over 3,000 to spare. As you will see, the book value is shot. This card would no longer rate any higher than VG-EX.
The other card is this 1988 Score Jeffrey Leonard. This one wasn't chosen for the post, but it's a fine card none-the-less.
I'm not sure what Grady's attraction to it is. It could be Jeff's perfect form on the swing. It could be the sweet way the Jeff wears his stirrups. It could be that Jeff shares a birthday with his old man (me, I'm pretty sure). Most likely Grady just mistook it for a slice of cheese. I've done that many times myself.
What isn't up for debate is the sure fact that we got our money's worth from these cards.
I thank you David.
And Grady thanks you too.

no worries! I took a look through my commons boxes of '90 Donruss (yes, plural) and I have no less than 32 Kevin Seitzers.
They are on their way!!!
That Seitzer card is begging for a TTM auto!
I, um, well, I admit it never crossed my mind that a recipient of free cards, especially one who is a DDS, would feed them for scientific study, but hey, um.. I read this!! :-)
This post is AWESOME. Also, I'm currently reading "I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski," so it's fitting I should happen upon your blog today of all days.
