Mark if nothing else, you have the utmost respect from a young collector. I don't have 10, 20 years in this hobby and joined this site because a moderator told me I should after contacting them after a purchase on ebay. I never understood the "drama" we encounter on these forums but now I see it seems to be inevitable. As people seem to treat "a newbie" as either completely new to the hobby or some kind of stealth scammer.
