Am I the only one that things this is pretty awesome?!
Alright. I'm a card guy. I have been since childhood. I have a pretty, robust collection, if you will... and not just one particular sport. I simply love opening packs. Doesn't really matter what kind.
I like the 1/1s and the downtowns and all the fancy cards, just like the next person. But... I also like what I like, ya know? I dont necessarily care if a card is worth $2 or $200. If it speaks to me, I want it. I'll overpay for wax trash if its my team and one I dont have.
A couple years back, I got into these Keepsake - Pieces of the past cards. I think it's really cool to have a chance to get relics and handwritten texts from historical figures. Its kind of like a what category of history do you enjoy? Here's a box for it. Try to get something neat. Mummies? Box. 1800s era? Box. Presidents? Box. Jusy a neat product, for me.
I purchased an art and history box and some random packs. When I tell you this might be, IMHO, the coolest card Ive ever held in my life....
This is a triple relic art history card with:
*Caravaggio hand touched document
***Michelangelo - HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENT!!!
***Leonardo Da Vinci - HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENT!!!
This, to me, is absolutely EPIC. The dude that painted the Mona Lisa wrote the words that I am holding. The dude who carved the statue of David... painted the freaking Sistine Chapel!!!!
I got a couple other cool handwrittens as well(Manet, Marie Antoinette & King Louix the 16th, R.W. Emerson), but THIS TRIPLE THO. Shewey
This will go next to my mobsters quad patch relic cards. Who ever thought Al Capone/Meyers Lansky/Buggsy Seigel/Lucky Luciano would be on display next to Michelangelo/DaVinci/Caravaggio?!?! hahaha
