I was going to ask for a catalog, and it just came in the mail without me saying a word. You are good....maybe scary good?

I got an email from Pete this morning and it's taken care of, all good. Pete is the best at Heritage and a helluva good guy. I had completely forgotten he worked at Heritage now

I just received my Heritage catalogue and was very impressed by Leon's collection. Over 200 pages!

Selling your prized collection to pay for your daughter's education is a wonderful thing for a Dad to do.

Good luck on the auction Leon. As already stated, phenomenal stuff. Being in CA and having the extra sales tax added on stinks so I doubt I end up with anything. Well I did already get my Leon Luckey collection card so I did contribute early.

I received mine today and the collection is breathtaking in print.
Having the collection in real life and parting with it must be an incredible loss.
One consolation is that financially it will bring quite a gain.
Or should I say GAIN!!!
best,
Barry

Got my catalog yesterday and I am still at a loss for words, i don't know where to begin to place a bid, too many goodies to choose from.

I've got the same issue here in Florida now. That's at least California, Texas, and Florida then -- the three most populous states and 27% of the country's population according to the most recent census, so I imagine there are quite a few of us in the same boat, even if those are the only states with Heritage offices.

Floridians have to pay sales tax now at Heritage? News to me.

Virtually every state with a use tax requires self-assessment if the vendor does not charge and collect sales tax as agent for the state. That is, you have an obligation to pay as consumer, even if a vendor doesn't charge you.

States like California regularly audit large purchases to ensure that consumers (both business and personal) have properly self-assessed.

It keeps tax lawyers in business.
