Hey Tiptop guy,
No worries on the caps lock key. You can see the difference
. Input is always appreciated and I don't discount anyone's comments, regardless of time in the hobby. By many accounts I am a novice too (around 15 yrs). I would say though, that being in the hobby WITH the internet for 15 yrs, probably gives the experience of a collector with a few more years under their belt. As for my comments being more accurate, I am only giving my experiences. Others' (how 'bout those apostrophes, Barry?) experiences might be different.
LACardsGuy- Be prepared for a bit of a bummer. Only a very small percentage of these situations turn out with a happy ending (returns are most common). Again, just my experience. Best of luck and keep us updated. If it is a real "find" then you did mighty good!!
The reprint I just got didn't have the measurements it should have had and the paperstock was all wrong. regards
