It has been close to 20 years since I have bought a card from Fritsch. About 10 years ago I sold a 1940 Play Ball Berg to his son. Although I miss the catalogues, the person who knew how to run the business in my opinion, was the father.

I remember the card shop Doloff had in Portsmouth NH in the early 90's. He had a sign on the wall of prices he would charge just to ask questions. I think it was $15.00 for 15 minutes of time. A big turn off when I wanted to buy. If I only knew then what I know now.

Wow, why not just have a sign saying "You're an idiot, spend your money elsewhere"

I'll gladly pay you $15 for 15 minutes of your time to learn your opinions. I will charge you $20 for 15 minutes of my time as I will share my thoughts as well. Let's talk.

I won't interrupt but for $25 for 15 minutes I will give the illusion of listening with both ears (a skill I have picked up in 32 years of marriage)

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
