I had them in a binder and when I was finished scanning, I left... only 1 problem - I forgot the Fred Clarke on the copy machine. When I realized it was missing I went back to the library, in a state of panic, and naturally it was long gone. Some kid probably found it and thought it was a coloring book or something.

I was depressed, deeply depressed, for quite a while. Not just at the monetary value lost but also because it is a truly rare f'n item!

Anybody else have any stories of loss?
Man, that is a sad story, but take solace in that Fred Clarke was probably the least attractive of the underwear wearing players in the set.
