He sold me an Old Judge O'Rourke for $2200; a day easrlier, he had bought it for $2100. "How can you do that?" I asked. "Well, you asked me to find you an O'Rourke, and I knew I was going to see you today, so I had a ready market. I don't mind small markups on ready markets."

As for "high end" and "low end" cards and stuff, I have a low end income, but like high end cards. Since Terry Knouse lets me pay slowly (and gives me the card to begin with!) I have a few middle-to-high-end cards, thanks to him. He never sends me a bill or reminds me when I owe him money. Just finished paying off an A35 Kelly, and an Old Judge Galvin. And a Tobin lithograph Keefe.

SO sorry if I offended you Mr. Cummings, by mentioning his appearance (it took up about 1/5 of my total comments), but have you ever noticed the appearance of many of the big dealers who don't take such good care of themselves physically?
