FOREVER AGO NIGHT OWL CARDS MENTIONED HE WAS THREE CARDS AWAY FROM COMPLETING HIS 2008 HERITAGE SET AND HE HAD TRACKED DOWN ONE OF THEM. I HAD ALREADY RESIGNED MYSELF TO THE TERRIBLE FACT THAT I WILL NEVER EVEN COMPLETE A HERITAGE NON-SP SET SO I CHECKED THROUGH MY ABSURDLY LARGE PILE OF NO-LONGER-WANTED HERITAGE CARDS TO SEE IF I HAD THE ONES HE NEEDED. I DID! THEN I FORGOT ABOUT THEM FOR MONTHS
BUT THEN!!! I FOUND THEM AGAIN AND WAS MORTIFIED ENOUGH TO COMMIT TO MAILING THOSE CARDS TO HIM RIGHT AWAY. THEN I COULDN'T FIND MY BUBBLE MAILERS
BUT THEN!!!!! I FOUND THE BUBBLE MAILERS!!!!! AND I ACTUALLY PUT THE CARDS INTO THE BUBBLE MAILER!!!!! AND I ACTUALLY EVEN MAILED THE BUBBLE MAILER!!!!! I DID A THING!!!!! AND THEN NIGHT OWL GOT THE CARDS AND REALIZED HE WAS STILL MISSING ONE MORE CARD
BUT THEN!!!!!!! HE BOUGHT THE CARD!!!!!!! AND FOUND OUT HE HAD PUT A CARD IN THE WRONG SLOT ON A PAGE AND NEEDED A DIFFERENT CARD
BUT THEN!!!!!!!!! HE GOT THE RIGHT CARD AND FINISHED THE SET AND ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD
WELL NOT REALLY. BUT HE COMPLETED AN IMPOSSIBLE SET AND I HELPED AND THAT'S GOOD
BUT THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE THE LAST CARD WAS INSERTED INTO A PAGE AND NIGHT OWL'S SET WAS COMPLETE I FOUND THIS:
THIS IS A 1980-81 TOPPS BASKETBALL ROBERT PARISH CARD SEPARATED FROM A PANEL. THE 80-81 SET IS INFAMOUS FOR BEING AN 88 CARD SET OF THREE CARD PANELS THAT MAKE UP A 264 CARD MINI SET BUT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS OF THE PANELS SO IT'S ACTUALLY A 176 CARD PANEL SET BUT YOU NEED 264 PANELS SO YOU CAN RIP 88 OF THEM IF YOU WANT BOTH VERSIONS OF THE 88 CARD PANEL SET AND A 264 CARD MINI SET SO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU ARE A COLLECTOR AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING. ALSO THERE IS A SET OF SIXTEEN TEAM PIN-UP POSTERS YOU NEED THEM TOO
THANKFULLY I BOUGHT A VENDING BOX OF 1980-81 TOPPS BASKETBALL THAT HAD ABOUT AN INCH OF DUST ON IT AT MY LOCAL CARD SHOP WHEN I WAS ABOUT 15 FOR SEVEN BUCKS. SO I HAD 264 CARDS AND THEN SOME. AND BOY HOWDY I RIPPED 88 CARDS. NOT THAT ONE. BUT I HAD 263 OF THOSE MINI CARDS IN A BOX AND I KNEW I HAD THE PARISH BUT IT WAS MIXED UP IN SOME JUNK BOX AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH JUNK BOX IT WAS. THEN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF INSTANT KARMA I FOUND THE BOX WITH PARISH IN
NOW NIGHT OWL HAS A SET, AND I HAVE A SET. ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD EXCEPT FOR LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE. ENJOY THE SET
