Sold my truck........
 
2 Attachment(s)
Recently I had two small strokes and it effected my eyes, being unable to see well and being afraid to drive......I sold my truck. I was down about the whole thing and my good wife said to take the money and put it into my New York Highlander collection. So, with $7000,00 in hand I went hunting!

What would you buy with $7000,00 ?

This is what I bought and traded so far ;

Gorgeous! Life gives you lemons you make Ramlys. Wishing you good health.

Very nice pickups. You made a tough but good decision on your truck.

I sure hope you saved a little to buy your good wife some flowers.....maybe a dinner out.....maybe a piece of jewelry.

WOW!!!

Sure is a nice way to "lick your wounds".

Sorry and nice pick ups. (pardon the unintended pun).

Those are awesome! I would rather have those pickups than a "pickup" any day, in particular the Kid Elberfeld. Years later he took a young Cecil Travis under his wing. Funny, isn't it? Kid Elberfeld was like a stick of dynamite, and Cecil Travis was calm as a cucumber. Great choices sir; they are fabulous. I hope you enjoy them and thanks for posting them!

My first thought was that you sold your Truck Hannah card.

mordecaibrown1 03-08-2022 02:37 PM

Selling your Truck!
 
Nice pick ups!!!!

Ha it’s terrible that this did not occur to me but good point.

Gary, you're in Jersey, right? Did you ever cross the border and go up to the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center (or whatever it is specifically called nowadays) to see the Hilltop Park home plate monument?? The coolest thing was walking 90 feet down the left field line (into the weeds) and standing where that incredibly historic Ty Cobb photo took place.

Wonderful cards. I learned two things about you.
#1 - You have great taste in cards.
#2 - You married very well.

Congratulations on both ;)

Buy some oil stocks to grow that $7k into much more money for more cards!

Rhotchkiss 03-08-2022 05:07 PM

Your wife sounds great.

Congrats on a good use of $$

Great pickups! T204s and Rose postcards are two of my favorite sets. Such striking cards.

You sold one pickup and got several pickups in return. Seems like a good deal
