Wow did I get a shock yesterday....my card mail these days consists of a card every 2nd week or 2....Yesterday about dinner time my wife tosses a bubble pack my way and I'm dead curious - I'd won nothing lately....
It was from China!
I checked out the sender and it was from a friend of mine I'd met thru KG collecting - a guy who likes Full garnett autos and I'd helped out tracking some down for him. We become good mates and he'd helped me out around the time of the Beijing Olympics with answering some questions about life in Beijing/China for my class at school.
Anyway - he had plans to go to Africa and we hadn't written for a month or 2 when this envelope arrives.

Inside is a great Chinese New year card (Year of the Tiger!!! haha!!) Go Mr Woods!!

And another bubble pack.......

I open it up and out pop this......

Wow!! What a gift!!



I was stunned. I knew this card was in China and he'd tried to help me get it before but I just didn't have the $$ at the time then it arrives outa the blue!!!!

It's not the world's best auto card but I really wanted it because I'm close to the master set of KG #21 06-07 cards....Check em out.....

I'm missing a few copper and gold /50 /100 versions of the Jefferson duals and the KG triples but only about 2 to get I think.....

My friend He Jiyuan is definitely owed something!!

I know some collectors have had trouble with the odd Chinese collector but not me!!! He's been terrific and hopefully will join to show off his amazing rare KG autos...
 
Nice lot of KGs.

How many 21s do you have now? You might need to change your sig.....it has your goal up until the end of 2009. :thumbsup:

wow what a cool near-master collection... that is one of the gr8 things about this hobby, the generosity of fellow passionate hobby colleagues
 
Ohh SNAP! Thats a bloody fantasic gesture from him! Awsome auto and jersey numbered...super freebie mate!
 
what a sick card to get out of nowhere!! sounds like a top bloke to, get him to join the boards so he can send me some pippens u greedy kiwi!
They can see Pippen for what he really was in China - a migraine faking tantrum throwing fraud!!!
:razz:

Thanks guys for the comments - he's a top man and off to Africa in 6 days - I'll be passing this thread on to him so maybe he will join. Don't think the collecting scene is that big in Namibia but u never know - maybe some Mutombo autos??
 
Man, awesome gesture there!!!!

I am always so impressed to see your chase still continue and the additions mount up to what you see there, sweet indeed.

Keep it up :)
 
Cheers again fellas - Just need to adjust the year on my goal the 136 is where I'm at with the collection.....kinda want 150 by the end of the year....
