Ok. So here are my latest additions.
Pretty pumped. Also a very good lesson in patience. In May, during Henry Yee's last ayction, many of you may remember that I bid and lost out on both the Dolph Camilli and KiKi Cuyler signed 1934 Goudeys. The Kuyler went for >$1900 and the Camilli for >$200. Now I was really pissed about losing the Cuyler, as I had never seen one prior and was sure there couldn't be too many of these around. The Camilli made me mad because, really, who spends over $200 on a Dolph Camilli auto? One of the most valuable lessons my father taught me about collecting is to be patient. He would point out that very few things are truly one of a kind. If you've seen one, another will come up in the future. He is correct again and as it turned out I didn't have to wait another 20yrs to find them. Plus I saved about $400 combined as compared to the prices of the ones in May. Last month I picked up Camilli.  A couple of weeks ago I won this Cuyler in the Collect Auction auction.   BTW, I have to send a huuuuge thank you to the wife for allowing me to get the Kuyler as a combined Birthday/Christmas present. Did I mention that I really love her?  With these 2, I am now at 75 out of 96. Not too bad for an 80yr old set.

Way to go Mark! Very nice way to end the year...but I think your wife is going to get suspicious if you keep having these "rare" items come up around Christmas every year
Your Dad's wisdom should be used by all of us in our everyday collecting.

Ben,
Yea, I do have a lot, but I have been working on this set for approx 30yrs or so. It's been a labor of love. Sean and Scott, Thanks a lot for the kind words. Mike, The wife's contribution is even bigger than it seems as she doesn't get collecting at all. It drives her crazy that I spend this amount of money on this stuff. Another part of it, for her, is that I don't have much displayed. So she sees this a stuff collecting dust in a box. Fortunately we have reached an accord. First, she has begrudgingly accepted the fact that I would rather spend money on memorabilia than tools, clothes, electronics, etc. Second, she twisted my arm to finally get the basement finished early this coming year, so I can hang and display my collection. Perhaps she will understand and enjoy it more as well that way. Giovanni, Congrats on your first. Very nice. Though, I would advise you to avoid the 34 Goudey cards. The 34's are very ugly cards and I wouldn't want you to ruin your collection with any of them. For safety's sake, please send them all to me, so I can protect everyone. CJ, I love multi-signed pieces and that is spectacular. Congrats on an awesome pick up. Best to all, Mark
