55 Hocus Focus
Leon was kind enough to unlock this thread for me.
I am the person Larry is referring to. I am currently in Brazil and have been out of the country since early January, and was not at home for most of December either for family reasons
Due to Larry's stress level on this matter, in the first part of February I had my house sitter open the package of cards in question. There were 19 different Topps 55 Hocus Focus baseball cards in the lot. I had 12 of the subjects in the lot but lacked 7 of them. I had the house sitter pull the 7 cards I did not have ( giving me 19 of the 24 in the sub set), and had her try to keep the best of the duplicate cards. She was pretty nervous about it all. She then mailed the 12 duplicates to Larry.
He got them, and posted to that effect on 54 on February 17, but did so in the Memorabilia Forum rather than this forum. Not sure why, but I was concerned that most of those who saw this thread, would not see or be aware of his thread in the other forum. Hence I asked Leon to let me post this in what had been a locked thread.
I have told Larry that if he wants to keep the 12 duplicates he can name the price he thinks fair. As he mentioned in the first post, the lot went for about $ 10,000. I also told him that since I would not be back home until mid April, he could wait until then to decide and pay if he wanted to keep them.
Hopefully that concludes this matter.
On another subject I can say that Tikal, The Panama Canal/Panama City, Machu Picchu, Torres Del Paine National Park, The Chilean fjords and glaciers Ushuaia ( The End Of The World ), The Falkland Islands and Iguazu Falls have been tremendous. Rio coming up
