Bottom of the NinthHal,
You did not have to implicate yourself on my behalf. I was not going to mention names.
The number and parameters you were referring to for the Bottomley were equal to the final price on the Wagner that was on ebay. In reading between the lines it was a given that I was going to have to end up paying nearly 5k for your card. As per your ridiculous example, I was not going to be able to trade Paul 1000 worth of cards for the Bottomley unless it was a card or cards that I bought in 1983.
I never pursued it as it was clear we were not sharing the same reality. Before I replied to you I sent your email to 3 other people to get their interpretation. Wanted to be sure I was not misinterpreting anything.
