I was reading some old threads and found this comment and it reminded me of a similar occasion. I was finishing up my M101-4/5 back run many years ago. I was down to needing the Everybody's back. There was one in auction and it got away from me under curious conditions in an auction. I told the auctioneer about it, who was sympathetic and a friend of Lew's. Lew found out about and sent me an Everybody's card. I asked how much and was ecstatic. He said, just pay me what you want to. Lew can be a bit cranky but he has kind heart for collectors. He has helped me a lot with my collecting......
