Accidentally leaving the wallet in your pants as they go into the wash is something that (I hope) won't happen again. I'd hate to see this scary sight a second time...
I still have the card though. Taped up and safely in the wallet. After all, it was a gift from a collector, blogger and just a good person and it's a constant reminder of getting out there and doing good things.
That said.....I knew I'd need a new #WalletCard for the collection....and maybe even one for the wallet.
So I was gobsmacked when I saw a simple Twitter post selling not one, but two Oscar Gamble cards.
The price? Two bucks - shipped....and he was sending from the States!! (albeit in a plain white envelope....which I was more than OK with).
A little added aside to the story...he forgot to ship the card initially and felt bad. It had only been about a week or two and I chalked it up to the holiday season. Nonetheless he insisted on refunding me my money - and then still shipped said cards!!
They showed up last week and I couldn't help but shake my head. What a perfect pair of permed hair. And it just works great as the one that has a slight ding on the side can now go straight into the wallet while the other (solid) offering can go into the player collection. Two 'fros, one stone.
So a big thanks to OAC Cards Sales on Twitter for the great sale - and the kind gesture of basically giving me two Oscar Gamble cards.
Two.....#WalletCards
Oh.....and if you think I'm retiring the damaged copy......not on your life!! It's two Oscars in the wallet now. And a heck of a story.
The original Gamble is awesome! Glad to hear you're not retiring it.
