I hate it when I double post

Jay,
Annabel Lee was written in the Bronx---that's plenty to make him from the Bronx
IMHO. I do remember--in the farthest reaches of my memory--that a Poe cottage
is still in the Bronx. And given Poe's predilections--maybe Poe himself still lives there.
all the best,
barry

I believe there is a very informative discussion of the Poe cottage in a mystery novel by Linda Fairstein (who I went to law school with). Can't remember which novel, memory fading, turning 64 in a couple weeks.

Like: searching all the flea markets, antique consignment malls, estate sales and yard sales for old cards...never know where they'll turn up.

Dislike: the guy at the auction that has deep pockets and no interest in cards that will drop 3-4 times that value of a card and push me out of contention.

I would like to change my dislike answer to:
Times when politics or religion rear their ugly heads on net54.

I hate that collecting baseball cards is no longer a hobby !

Love the hunt for that next treasure. I really appreciate this forum as well. It's a great place to interact with some good peeps that share a common passion.

This one kind of a hybrid.

The internet, ebay and AH's has really expanded the quantity and quality of cards available to me, BUT it has absolutely killed the cards shows. Man, I do miss the days of when I would sit in excitement waiting for the net Tri-Star show and dream of what I might find. Good times.....Good times...

I like Coupons(these are a couple of my favorites) along with most PreWWI cards.
