DavidCycleBack, thanks, good discussion, thanks for clarifying they are important, and I do like them...was just jesting on the 250g's...posted because they were so unusual

Well here I am goofing off when I should be finishing the National story...and I'm closing in...but this discussion brought to mind my only cdv's I own, which I got earlier this year as I recall....This will illustrate how little I know about cards...when I got these I was disappointed they were only 2 1/2" by 4"..I was expecting cabinet card size...my friends had to explain cdv's were better than cabinets...I got them because they were super rare sculpture...the one of the Muller is in Rucker's book..the other one is way out there....says "Baseball" but it's cricket..all the more reason to have such an example. If anyone has the Muller "Striker" (batter) cdv...of course I'd like to buy it!!

Boy cards are a hassel...I'm nervous handling them, as I know condition is so important...I think that may have been the first time I ever actually touched them out of the sleeves....good grief..got'um back in the plastic before something happned...ugh...I'm happier with stuff I can just pick up and examine and enjoy without being nervous.
