Just got a notification from Ebay that my search for a T204 Tom Reilly had a hit! Made my day until I realized it was for a reprint card. I wanted to strangle the seller through the internet.
Who exactly would be the target audience for a fake card of one of the worst major leaguers ever?! :D

Does that mean I've been replaced on that sworn enemy list? ;)

That scan is actually from early 2005 and I haven't bid on one since, so I can't be held responsible for what happened the last 11 years.

I haven't bid on one in over ten years. I think I've been more than generous in that regard. I wish he would buy one finally so I can keep collecting them!

I don't even collect the set, I just hated that there weren't any Pirates in the set and decided to buy all the cards of the worst player in the set and destroy them in protest. I also hated 121 cards in the set, felt they should have stopped at a nice number like 120. I realized after I bought six of them that it was an impossible goal and everyone associated with producing the set was probably long gone anyway, so I gave up. Now I just keep them as a reminder not to try to get even with dead people.

And more importantly, John can finally go back to pursuing them to add to his hoard.

I'd love to know when the last one I bought was, but I still haven't bid on one since this post. I still have all six of them too. I bet it has been close to 20 years since I got the last one. I was 16 when I got the first as a Christmas gift (good timing on this response!) and bought at least three others a year or so after. Not sure if I got the last two right after that or it took time, so 20 years is possible

Ah, the Reilly. I have one now, though it was a bit of slog to get one. I loved the story and set out to do the 12 Lords a' Leaping, but quit after 6 or 7, I think, which is why Harry Lord may be a bit in short supply now, though pretty easy to get.
