George DreherBarry, it's not hard to keep a low profile. I've never publicized the fact that I probably have one of the largest sportscard collections held in private hands. In fact, I shun publicity. I've never been much of a social butterfly. When I mentioned the collection's value, I'm adding up all sports and the non-sports.
Yes Jay, the bank is small.
Leon, I have most of the cards from the major sets from 1887 through 1948. Also most of the rookie cards of important players from 1948 through 1990. Almost all sports are represented in the collection and some non-sport issues. And sportscards aren't the only things I collect. I have autographs of nearly every HOFer in all sports. Also historical autographs, letters, documents. Almost every US postage stamp in unused condition from 1847 through 1960. A monstrous coin collection all the way from Ptolemy coins through modern. A currency collection. Political memorabilia collection. Unused sports tickets from the 1890s through 1980s. I am a gun collector also. There isn't enough room at the bank for everything so for the less valuable stuff, there is a walk-in vault here at the home also. Again, I have good reason not to advertise or maintain a high-profile.
