I'd be trying to talk about the white border cards with him. He ALWAYS steered the conversation back to Colgan's and would want to buy one or two. I would think that cards you got from him were duplicates. And I gotta figure Bill knew Mr. Wise and his cards.
Wish I'd known Mr. Wise. Bill was a treasure.

Frank:
Bill was an unusal collector (aren't we all!!) in that he would work feverishly on completeing a set. Once he did he would sometime sell it off and start on another quest.
I recall he did this with Seattle Popcorn cards, Kahns, T200's, Colgans and others. And NO, the things I got from him in Jakes collection were not dupes.
Some things interested him others did not. Plus as mentioned he had to raise funds quickly to repay his cash advance so he was selling things he did not have.
