Bruce,
While I might agree with you on #2, I disagree with #1. I'm an armpit collector if ever there was one, but just looking at the picture of that sheet--and I can only imagine how beautiful it is in person--I can fully appreciate both its history and its significance as a hobby item.

You bought the sheet from Rob, so you probably paid a very fair price at the time for the item. Most areas of the hobby have seen big price increases over the last 20 years. I wonder how much the poor sap got from Mr. Mint, though--who probably thought he was making a killing when he sold it "for a song."

Now see? There's the other Bruce. The personable Bruce who can have a little fun with the hobby. I say, show us some more of that guy.
