Thanks for the kind words and support, everyone! The only thing that KILLED me so far, since I decided to apply the Dodger Dollar account to all hobby purchases--not just the '56 Dodgers--was I had to pass up a very nice 1950 Life magazine with Jackie Robinson on the cover. I'd seen grubby copies for sale around $30-$50 for months, but here was one for $30 (with shipping) that looked sharp and didn't even have a mailing label. I wanted to pull the trigger but not quite badly enough to eat 15 apples I guess. Still, it was the biggest test of my discipline to let that thing go.
At the moment, I have $38 Dodger Dollars in my account and am deciding between splurging on 3-4 '56 Brooklyn commons or saving a little longer to shoot for the Duke. Will keep you posted.
