Feeling like a flipper for a day

I think I've established fairly well in a few different posts that my family isn't the card-buying type when it comes to Christmas gifts.   I never know what to expect as far as cards at the holidays. And asking for specific wants can be tricky.   I marvel each year at this time when someone on social media says something like, "look at these 1964 Topps cards that completed my set, I have the greatest wife in the world!!!" This would never happen to me. First, such a gift would require an unnatural interest in my hobby, which nobody in the house -- other than me -- has. Second, any request for something that specific -- "I need cards #431, #435, #502, #520 and #558 from 1964 Topps" -- would scare off my loved ones.   They do have their moments . But in general, card requests must remain as generic as possible and then I hope I get lucky and something fits into my collection.   Which explains why I ended with this yesterday: Don't get me wrong. I liked it...
