happy collecting,

Thanks for the clarification and information Scott. It was fantastic speaking with you on the phone too. It is always great to speak with another hobbyist as addicted as myself. Sorry I doubted the auction whatsoever but that is the skeptical part of me coming out. Take care and happy collecting....and thanks again for the great phone call. LL
