Some Buyers Are Honest!
Many years ago (15 or so) I ask my sister in law to watch my tables at a small mall show while I went to listen to Cal Ripken, Jr speak at a public forum. The next morning, at the show, I found a note from my sister in law saying she had had a very slow evening....only one $5.00 sale! About 3 PM a lady came to my table and said she just couldn't do it. I asked her what she meant. She handed me the very nice 1954 Ted Williams card she had purchased from my sister in law the previous evening for $5.00! I was very surprised to discover what the $5.00 sale had been. I told the lady I was impressed with her honesty and gave her $50.00. The card had been marked $500.00.
