The event of 'air' is from aeons ago. What I have now is a simple Pirates pack shell in gorgeous condition framed by itself with no card, beautifully matted.

May I say, what a treat it is to read from your most luminescent rolling stream.
You remind me of my Classics professor who would take a few of us on
trips to archaeology conferences in freezing weather with the windows of his rambler rolled down---quoting the hilarious passages of Suetonius and singing
glorious tunes in the ancient greek. I could go on but I know that you understand this.
You said it best when you defined the forces behind your accumulation
as a celebration of the organic beauty inherent in objects and remnants of living things from ancient times---that once living world in which we still see
beauty and wonder.
For me, baseball from the 'ancient times' is one of a number of Weisungen
both pointing and offering a conduit to beauty and wonder you so eloquently describe. It also serves as a pointer and conduit to the wonders of childhood
self-reflection with all the brilliance of imaginations still alive from our own
ancient days. We enhance our own 'aliveness' through the reliving and rejuvenating of these wonders and wondrous times.
Henry, I do hope that you will someday offer what you called your 600+ pages
in the form of a monograph that we all can read. I will take the further step
of having portions of it read to me by my wife as we drive with windows rolled down in the coldest days of winter in what once was called a buick.
all the best, ole friend
and thank you again
Barry
