JC - As you said in the post about the Naps schedule; you win some, you lose some. Given the breadth and depth of your collection, i know there has got to have been plenty a bargain that you got along the way too.

The Browns currency issue was one of the items i was going to comment on - I thought you got a great deal - there have been a few of these offered fairly recently, though not this particular one, and i expected to see it go for more.

A post recently was asking about the best venue for cards - Ebay or auction houses - the answer if you're a seller, would appear to be auction houses. The SGC 40(3) T205 Joss went for $1,300 - there have been a couple of PSA 4's that went for the high $600's on Ebay recently. I thought all of Lew's T205's brought strong prices.

The Van Oeyen photo lot went for more than i wanted to bid - doesn't mean anything, just that i didn't get it

The T202 set brought a very strong price i thought - hopefully its not a sign that people are now going to start considering this a popular issue.

The M116 Bates was a major surprise for me even though I know its a major rarity. Who goes after cards like these - the "collector of rarities" or the "collectors of M116's"?

Gil - I had to read your post twice before I got it. Too funny. Sensitive is rarely a moniker applied to much i'm involved with, so i'll take it as a compliment.
