Even cooler than the cards however, is the newspaper Wade included. It's from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I had no idea they ran this. It's been kind of strange to see the number of places the story has popped up without any notice given to me. Not that I need notice I guess, but I just like seeing it. Seeing my name in print is still enough of a novelty that I get a kick out of it and like saving it for the scrap book. So but for Wade in Atlanta, I would likely have never known this happened.
I'm surprised Wallach himself hasn't reached out to you yet.
ReplyDeleteKind of odd that a major Atlanta paper would run a story from a paper in California about a collector from the Southwest, who collects cards of a player from California, who played for teams from Canada and California, on its front sports page. There's zero local connection. Not that it shouldn't run, but in Atlanta, somewhere inside the section is best.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a little odd. But, still very cool!
DeleteBeing in Atlanta, I'll add that the AJC pretty much sucks. I'm guessing Wade saw the article in his law firm's lobby (his firm is a fairly decent sized regional firm here in the Southeast, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough) and was inclined to send you those cards.
DeleteAnd now, I'm inclined to look Wade up (I think I know him) and see if he still collects!
Speaking of which...I need to send you some cards, Stack.
