Finally got around to watching it, thank you very much Erik for posting the vid.

One of the best parts of the video for me was seeing my lone Lionel Carter example right there in all it's glory at 17:19 when they showed a nice up close shot of his beautiful T206 album with the Hal Chase cards along the bottom row

A very lengthy article about Mr Carter.

Very good article as well, I remember reading that one a few years ago. Sad how he was basically forced to sell his amazing collection in order to keep he and his wife safe.

I was hoping to see my lone LC card, but he never flipped to the SL pages. I now know this one won't be for sale soon:

Nice LC SLer Erick, don't blame you, that should be a keeper

That was a great video. It broke my heart a little to hear Mr. Carter talk about how he couldn't share his set with others. It is such a shame (and legitimate concern) that people would target a collection like that. Part of what makes collecting so much fun is sharing the hobby with others and the camaraderie with fellow collectors.
