I hope you land your piece man, I really do.

I hope you get yours and Jamie gets his too. I'm not about taking other people's goals in the midst of mine, I think there's plenty to go around and some collectors who wouldn't mind parting with theirs for the right price. Good luck to you!
As for the cabinet I really like it but for what ever reason the wife doesn't care for it. I think it's beautiful. It's walnut and it smells awesome too. I don't know what if anything I would replace it with.
I love the fact that the lorillard company became a part of Duke's dynasty during that era and made the Polar bear brand. This cabinet, even though it was made in 1883, could have easily been used for decades in a store and displayed packs of tobacco that contained all the cards we collect. It's a real neat piece. Too bad the bottom glass is cracked, but it still presents well and all the hardware works flawlessly.
