Thanks for the kind words, Dennis! He may be Good, but that Hetling is pretty cool to me. I am still new to them and learning them, but I can see how they could quickly become habit-forming. What gorgeous little works of art! Part of my motivation for collecting cards when I first started was the historical aspect of them. I have drifted far from that. For a time, I became so condition sensitive that collecting stopped being fun because I started nitpicking everything. That's not to say collectors shouldn't have standards, but I am saying that collecting cards from 1910 or 1911 certainly forces me to loosen up once again...which I am happy to do. I wish I could find another cigar box full of Obaks for sure!
