Good evening OCTers!
I still cannot believe what has just happened, but here goes...
I went to the post office today and collected 2 parcels - both from the USA but from different sellers.
No idea what was inside one, but I was 99% sure the other was going to be this sweet 2012 Leaf "Best of Basketball" Gilmore auto /25 I won on eBay about a week ago:
So you can imagine how stunned I was to open the first parcel and find this beauty tucked inside!!

I had been madly looking for any of these 4 Gilmore printing plate autos from Leaf Best of Basketball without any luck....and here one was!!
There was a Paypal payment receipt inside, and although the buyer's info was crossed out I was able to see who it was by holding it up to the light...
Graeme aka 'hairyangryfella" has bought it and had it sent to me as a freebie gift - for no reason other than he is a total dead-set champion!!!!
So being on cloud 9 I move on to the other parcel, thinking how well it will go with the /25 version.
I open the second parcel, and taped inside of the team bag, blocking the view of the card, I read this:
Confused, i then open the team bag, remove the filler card and find this:

BOOM!!!!
Ridiculous!!! 2 of the 4 printing plate autos.............as freebie gifts....from the same legendary OCTer!!
Graeme I am absolutely stunned at your generosity and very humbled that you would think of me and buy these cards for me knowing how much I love collecting the A-Train. The joy I had today opening these two random parcels was just amazing.....and how awesome that they arrived on the same day!!!
You will be duly rewarded of course but man it is going to be tough to track down something that is a worthy payback. I mean how many rare cards do Dean Garrett and Todd Fuller have???!!
Great to see the OCT generosity is alive and well, and how friends in this hobby via great forums like this one can help make your PC way better than by doing the searching all by yourself.
Thanks again G!!
