Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>If cash is king it would seem wiser to hoard it rather than to spend it now when you can spend less to buy the same cards during the coming depression. Since this depression is just around the corner, why not wait a bit?

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>Jeff,<br>We have fond memories of our parents taking us to the circus as a child - memories nearly as precious to us as the memory of our first game at Yankee Stadium. Your posting of the Taddy's Clown card brings those memories rushing back to us. We vividly recall munching on peanuts as the elephants pranced about and the clowns entertained us with their antics. We are currently in late stage negotiations to buy a PSA 9.5 copy of that card which is the FINEST known in the entire world.<br><br>Greg Ecklund<br>The Ecklund Group<br><br>Sri Lanka's 2nd Toughest Want List

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Bruce, <br><br>The meat of your post is interesting, I may send you some &quot;bottom line&quot; prices on a few of my cards. Worst you could say is, &quot;no thanks.&quot; And that is ok. I will then have a little more current market pricing information. <br><br>But you rock the boat with your economic predictions and your various off topic opinions - leave that stuff out.<br><br>steve

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br>Bruce-<br><br>You should have an email but my email has been acting up so I'll confirm here. Sent you an email about D350 James PSA 7 and Crowley's Milk Adlam PSA 5, I believe both are the highest graded of each issue within PSA anyway (last I looked). $625 for both.

It is a new year after all.
