Well, I'm an avid collector since c. 1977, and recently started to send in NPNs (since November). At first it was ho,hum kind of thing...I got a Bowman's Best Green Pedro Martinez and my Father near by got a Bowman's Best Red Miguel Tejeda. Not bad for a .37, now .39 cent stamp and 3x5 card and envelop and spit

So imagine my surprise when I call my Dad to tell him what I got in the mail yesterday...a 2005 Topps Pristine Billy Butler RC Autograph Rare card #'ed!!!! Hurray I think and say to dear ol' Pops...Then he said "Guess then what
I got?" "What" I say, deflated..."A Pristine Autograph Mariano Rivera card #'ed to 100!!!!!!!!!!"
Let me just say...my Dad and I now LOVE NPNs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
