This is why I check my junk mail...

Every day I get junk mail, and often times don't have the chance to sift through it efficiently before I toss it, so I put it in a junk mail pile. Today, I was going through a month's worth of junk mail and shredding it...and I came across a ttm envelope that had accidentally been inserted into a flyer. Like I said, this is why I check. I'm sure glad I did because inside was...

Ken Aspromonte 1/1 (1973 Topps card already signed by Rocky Colavito & Warren Spahn)
c/o home

Whoa! Glad you checked it! Would have sucked to toss that one signed by Rocky and Spahn.

I'm paranoid too... I comb through circulars and such pretty thoroughly. I used to check it again before recycling but trust myself slightly more on the front end now.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite card shop finds. I picked it up, out of a binder of signed cards, for...$8. So, if I lost it, monitarily I would have been out the equivalent of a Happy Meal, a Hot Apple Pie, and a Shake, but I really didn't want to lose that one. That was a sweet find. I knew Ken would come through.
