Don't know if the clock counted down - I was distracted - or Rhys just pulled the plug but am glad it finally ended so I could rest up for the hockey game.
Am looking forward to the next RMY auction. Between it and Henry Yee I have switched gears a bit from collecting old cardboard and have picked up a lot of neat photos.

I love the original photos from the old football cards - great pick-up!!!
Also love those contest beauties - nothing wrong with today's definition of 'beauty', but loved those Marilynesque women with a little meat on their bones.
