marshall barkmanI understood you JimVB but jeez give the poor guy a break. If i wanted the lot i would just e-mail him for a price because maybe the poor guy is old or does not even have a scanner.
In the last two collections of tobacco cards that i purchased privately the owner did not even have a computer much less know how to scan. Today i went and looked at a gentleman's collection that had 27 Mantles and every key rookie card from 1951 on up, he also had some wild Babe Ruth strip cards that i had never seen. He could not even spell computer much less own one so i had to drive to his home and just hope the cards were in somewhat decent shape. It was a bummer to see a 1952 Mantle that had the outside border cut out and a Ted Williams rookie with two giant pin holes at the top.
Lichtman that gasp line is a riot. It's to bad i could not make it to the dinner because it would have been alot of laughs.
