It was a Seinfeld episode- that's what the pilot "Jerry" was about.

Tom--I have never seen the collection, but Richard and I have talked about a trip to London to see it. I would like to fill in the missing images in our book and I'm sure many of those cards reside in his group.

You and Richard in England.....that could get outta control.....

I know I've lived a provincial life, but I've never understood how butler could be a full time job. Couldn't the chef take on the butlering duties in his spare time? Or is the butler there just to prevent the embarrassment of having the chef spill something in his rush to answer the door?

Paul,

You're right. I had to let mine go because there was just not enough to keep him busy.

Hell HR....just dusting all your baseball figures in the basement would be sufficient to staff a small army....

EWT was a pioneer collector, and much of what we take for granted is derived from his efforts.

I've been after his autograph for some time, and finally got it. I posted about it in the pickup thread, but since it was a book, not a slabbed card it drew no interest....
