AAAAAAND, these are the stories that I LOVE to hear. Thanks for sharing. To the majority of us on this board, we are collectors, and we collect for the love of the hobby. Not the money or value or re-sale aspect, but rather because we love the hobby and how it takes us back to our childhood.
Thanks again for sharing. BTW, me and my son are getting closer to the end on this set. With a lot of of help and kindness from this board.

Lucky for me because instead of the usual pack ripping, handling and packing into a shoebox (death to black borders) I ordered the complete set from Larry Fritsch over that Winter for about $25 where it remained untouched for years until I carefully put them in sheets a few years ago. I upgraded a few due to centering problems, but looking through that set of pristine black borders now is pure joy.
