Holy cow! I'm not sure I want to know if any of the stuff I had is worth that much today!

Owning rare or unique items, even if only briefly, is a special kick, ain't it? Even when family and friends think you're nuts.

It is. I appreciate knowing that I was in the chain of ownership. Still have a number of items that fit the bill.

What I really love about those family and friends think I'm nuts thing is when I tell them about selling something that they thought I was nuts for buying at a huge profit - I don't usually hear about how nuts I am at the end of those stories :-)

The Plaks were a plague on me for some time until Mile High came up with a bunch of them and I was able to fill out the set. The checklists also go for a lot these days.





Another tough issue

Karl, I know what you mean about the 1974 Puzzles. I'm not sure why the catalogs even give pricing for MT centered Ryan or Allen puzzles. Having once had the privilege of owning and opening several boxes, I'm pretty sure they never made it out of the pack that way.

+1. Even my wife doesn't complain as much about my card buys anymore!
