Thanks, guys. It's definitely been a good day. As for telling my wife, Rhett, even if I hadn't told her, she'd have figured it out somehow. She's devious that way.

Thanks for the advice on the T206 purchases, Scott. I actually have an O'Hara and a Cobb and some other decent cards, and as much as I'd love to put this money toward a Monster toughie -- a Magie would be awesome -- we do need to do some work on the house. Family first, I suppose. I'll make sure my wife remembers this the next time I get a chance to buy a pricey card at a decent price.

And just wanted to publicly thank Barry and Leon. Both were tremendously helpful when I was seeking advice on how I should go about consigning the book. I enjoyed getting to meet you both (and all the other guys) at the New York dinner. Really nice guys. And even though my collection pales next to everyone else's who was at the dinner, everyone was very cool. I had a great time simply sitting there listening to people talk passionately about their collections. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Now, all I need to do is find six or seven more of these books, and next dinner I'll feel more at ease talking about my own little collection.

Thanks again.
