A new collector!

My 11 yr old son has at last started to get "the bug". For Christmas I gave
him a set of the Whitman "penny" boards from 1909 to the present. I also
brought home about 50 pounds of Wheats for him to search through. After
going through them all, he only had about 12 holes left to fill. Every
Friday he wants me to bring home another bucket to search through. Every
week I would bring home about 10 pounds of Wheats for him. What he didn't
know is that each week I would "salt" it with 1 or 2 semi keys. They are
very low grade, like AG3 to G4 at best. Now we're down to the nitty gritty!
4 holes left.... 09 S, 09 S VDB, 14 D and 31 S.
I got him to start trying to fill all the 1959 to the present rather then
worry about the last 4 keys. Hopefully when he's a lot older he'll look
back and smile at the effort his dad went to!
