Would gladly pay for '57 Lucky Penny cards at their prices. Anyway, the card I bought for $100, would not have bought the same card online:

Patrick, that Richardson is fantastic. It's been three years since I've been to my lcs. Seeing that beauty you picked up makes me want to head back out to SMP, and fast. There's just nothing like looking through a case, and seeing a bunch of vintage beauties together. Ebay will never have that charm.

Hank, that's really cool. I hope your store is really successful.
