auction of Big Train's personal collection

[prewarsports]

What can you say, Walter was THE MAN and I am sure he is thrilled from beyond that he can still find a way to provide happiness to his family and fans 70+ years after he died.

Cool story and Hank, I dont have any grandma's left and your Mom looks AWESOME so I am in the market for a Grandma if she's down with it

Thanks, Rhys, I'm happy to share her. She's a real chip off the old block, wonderful person. Still living on her own in the house we moved into in 1955. Walter's Mother made it to 100, and hopefully Mom will make it at least that far.

Here's to 10++ years of health and happiness to her! I hope the sale goes wonderful for you guys, I dont think finding buyers will be a problem.

The collection is presented well in the hard-copy catalog. Good luck Hank.

The Statue pictured with Hank is incredible. Guess its not going to market, and is staying with the family?

Can't blame the family if that's the case... It's got to be one of very few to exist.

Best of luck with the sale!

Best of luck with the sale. We'll all be watching!

Thanks, everybody, much appreciated. If any Net54ers make it to the preview Friday night, please say hello. Apparently, I'll have a little setup there to talk up the Walter stuff and I'll also have some of my hardcover books to sign and give away. Hope to see some of you there.
