Default Very Sad! - Lionel Carter auction story

Posted By: Bob

Just listened to Lionel Carter on the radio show thanks to Quan's link. He sounded great but reiterated his story that if it had not been for the jackass who robbed him (he got all his cards back)he would still have all his cards and he preferred them to the money. He also said that his cards sold for 1.6 million but he has many more to go and the final total will be around 3 million. I am assuming that he has an extensive postwar collection also. He sounded wistful and sad in describing his cards but I smiled while I listened to him as he sounds like a crusty old bird, and I mean that in a loving sense. Continued good health to you Lionel, may you live another 89 years and keep following those Cubbies!
