There will be a pretty good type card collection coming to auction....

Leon - If I manage to win anything that you hold dear, I will be a good steward for it and an appreciative owner.

Best of Luck to you, my friend! Having sold off my collection in its entirety three times already (albeit much, much less grand than yours must be), I realize that it is not an easy decision. And your reason for liquidating is far better than mine were- mainly out-purchasing my paychecks.

- oh, and please send me a catalog when it's available.

We are all just transient sentinels of our collections which ultimately will be passed on to others. What is mine now, will ultimately be yours and vice-versa. Its a reality of collecting that makes me smile. Good luck with your auction, your items will be well cared for!

Holy cow! Are all of your Ruth cards going into the catalog also? I know that even though you weren't a Ruth collector, you had a substantial collection there. Good luck with your sale!

Leon,

Totally understand....family comes first...I'm sure your daughter will be a success and that in of itself will trump anything in your collection!

It will be exciting to see what you are going to do next in terms of your collecting... if you still go type...there are so many other ways to do it!

Leon, that's a terrific thing you're doing for your family. Possibly your finest "trade" ever perhaps! I'm sure that the day your daughter graduates will be exceptionally rewarding for you! I'm looking forward to seeing this auction and may pursue a couple of the items that you beat me on originally when you won them, aggressively

Best of luck with the upcoming auction! It should be a fantastic event!
