So, you're looking at your young friend who is fretting over his prematurely receding hairline. He is opting for Rogain, but you tell him all he has to do is tilt his head a little and his problem will go away.

Yep, I'd do that.

But my friends are used to that sort of humor from me.

Hi Barry, When Bruce gave me a tour of his collection about 8-10 years ago, I had told him it wasn't Van Haltren. He didn't argue with me. I don't believe he cared about the player on the card, but instead was pleased that it obtained the grade it did for a Four Base Hits card. Best, Patrick

Thanks Patrick. Hope you are doing well. Bruce talked about the card often, as it was probably his favorite piece. But he never once mentioned that he knew it wasn't Van Haltren, and it never crossed my mind to question it. And you are right that he didn't care. I think the grade and its value were what most interested him. It was a type card so the player didn't matter. This is all new to me.

Bob-let me say what Mark will probably think when he reads this. This will be the dumbest response in the thread. LOL
