Hi guys. Thanks for the kind words. And Johnny, before you get jealous consider this:
Most of my best cards were acquired through sheer luck.
That Plank scrap? I was the underbidder on three other Planks, and finally decided that I was going all in on the next one. Lucky for me, it turned out to be a unique card.
The Merkle run? I lucked into that one when I picked up a Merkle Uzit on ebay, then followed up a year later by getting the Merkle Brown Lenox. It was only after stumbling into those two that I decided to go for the rest of the run. And the Merkle Piedmont 42? I bought the first Piedmont that I found on ebay. It was only after I received the card that I noticed that it was a Factory 42.
The Pirate? Okay, that was a great pick up. But I've had a few big f' ups as well. None of which I wish to describe now.
