The Pursuit Of Sox(ness)

I was happy to receive a package from the UK in the past few weeks. I wasn't expecting anything from The Pursuit Of 80's(ness), but then again, I'm never waiting on pins and needles for those packages. They show up unexpectedly, just when I need them most.

Along with the protective envelope upon envelope method of packaging, there was a note.

Really sorry!, but I have been really trying to get hold of some White Sox for you. Luckily I was able to pick up a nice game used (black which is little unusual) hope you enjoy.

No apologies necessary, John! I'm still gathering cards for your next package to be sent out. I agree, the black game used is a little unusual. It's nice to see it though!

I was treated to almost forty years worth of cards, in one small package. How convenient!

I have to say, John, that you outdid yourself! I can't believe how many great cards are in this one mailing. Thank you! When I have a few more cards to send out, you will definitely be getting a package! Besides, who can argue with a package that includes Nellie Fox and Goose Gossage?
