Heavenly Collections - Austin Kearns
Wax Heaven —
... I believe many daily readers know Joe Cuevas as the resident clown who is always prepared to launch a quick zinger or two here in the comments section or one his own blog, Cincy Reds Cards. Unfortunately, unlike most collectors featured in Heavenly Collections, his tale is as bittersweet as you can imagine. You see, Joe is a die-hard Reds fan who collects Austin Kearns.

... With just one hour left, the auction had not even reached $13 dollars so I figured my $20 would be more than enough. Around that time, I received an email from long time reader & blogger, Joe, who offered to buy the card for me for $50 dollars. As thankful as I was for his generosity, I just could not accept. After all, this guy was the one who sent over a fresh, unopened box of 1997 Bowman Chrome for me to bust ( ...
