Direct Swap - Binay from India

At the end of June, Binay got in touch with me as he had seen a card I had sent recently of SkyDome (Rogers Centre) and was wondering if I would like to swap. He collects stadium cards from around the world. He had quite an extensive trade album to choose from and to be honest I couldn't. While I like being able to select cards, sometimes I still want the element of surprise. I liked many of the cards he had with people, I gave him a few suggestions and let him decide. I received these great cards from him a few weeks ago. One shows three snake charmers and the other shows a fish merchant at the Mapusa Market. His words were really charming and talked about his studies, the weather, his homeland (Nepal) and a recent encounter he had with a snake!

As it turns out he also collects stamps and football tickets. In my package to him I surprised him with a ticket stub to an Argos game as the kids went on a field trip the day we arranged the swap. I also included some low domination stamps and received a very kind thank you when he received it last week.
