So much so that there have been times where someone has kept an eye out for things I might like, and in some cases even picked cards up knowing I would probably be interested in them.
I've acquired a number of great items for my PC over the years from the help of others.
This card is a perfect example of that.

A friend of mine asked me earlier in the week if I needed this card for my 'Raise The Cup' project. I searched through my cards and couldn't find it. I never got back to him about it and kind of put it in the back of my mind the past couple days.
So it was a nice surprise tonight when I met up with him and a few other friends and he simply handed it over. Looking for nothing in return.
Many people might say "It's just a cheap junk wax era base card". Wrong! It's a great reminder of what I enjoy about this hobby, and a perfect example of doing something nice for someone else. And it's a great photo of Sakic hoisting the Cup for the first time in his career. Cool!
It was a simple gesture, but there's no question that this card will keep with it a great memory, a good story and a smile on my face.
Thanks very much Dave for the help with my collection.

Anytime! It's a sharp looking card if I do say so myself!
