Even the biggest card collector will never come across a card as valuable as the one Steve Winfree received last week.
Winfree has been battling a kidney disease for the past 14 years and now his life is about to change thanks to a special edition card he received in a pack of baseball cards this past weekend.
Steve’s wife, Heather, recently found out she was a match and didn’t have to think twice about whether or not she would donate one of her kidneys. Rather than just telling him the great news, she decided to do something special and had Topps create a special card just for Steve.
The back of the card reads:
“Steve has had a lot on his plate. With his health issues he has been striking out a lot. He was not sure how he was going to wind up. His wife Heather thinks he is a great catch so she decided to go to bat for him. Now Steve will be a rookie recipient at Vanderbilt Transplant Center where his Wife, Heather, will be pitching a new kidney to him. They are sure to hit it out of the ball park together!”
It really doesn’t get much better than that.
