A well-known board member just put that to the test though as he just bought two 1941 Play Ball paper cards from me. I guess it proves that I'm not running a "museum" but this one still smarts. I loved those cards AND this incredibly underappreciated set.
Any other full-time dealers experience this or do you maintain a collection of untouchable stuff?

That is what you have to do to make $ as a dealer. In my 30 years in the hobby I have done pretty much everything good and bad. I love finding and owning the super rare stuff but usually end up selling it to "own" something else cool and rare. I guess you could call it renting cards.LOL
I know I just bought a card that there is only 1 or 2 known copies of today. After I receive it on Monday it will probably be owned by another member or a good friend. But I can say I owned one.
