Absolutely awesome, Greg.

Best of luck Mr. Luckey. Cannot WAIT for that catalogue.

I've already picked out what I want. It's going to be a long wait, but it will be worth it.

This makes me kind of sad... that being said, I WANT A CATALOG!

You know perhaps Heritage can do "Leon signed" auction catalogs and selll those for a premum. After all, how many times can the honoree be here for their goods; that usually only happens after someone passes on.

I'm going to get Leon to sign mine.

I admire your decision here; and, I do appreciate it.

As, I did a similar thing back in the early 1980's to help pay for my older daughter's (Debbie) College tuition.
I'm sure that my collection at that time was on a considerably smaller scale than your current collection.

However, so were the costs of a College tuition back then.


Wishing you the best of luck,

along with my Halper signed catalog :-) Leon's might be worth more!

Leon,
I believe you said you would start a new collection. That is sort of out with the old and in with the new old.
Just kidding Leon, I tip my hat to you. It had to be a tough decision, but the right thing to do. Good luck with the auction and with your new old collection.

+1 I know what I want also and hopefully if it is in a lot I can partner with someone that wants the other stuff. I want Leon's recently acquired Jim Beckett graded by Beckett card. It needs to come home and be with it's twin brother card.
