It's time to move on.

That's pretty funny for those of us who have gambled in casinos.

Ad don't ya' just hope it's a young, hot chick that squeezes in at the semi-circle and not some old fat dude that stinks?

lastly, to the OP, I suggest you consider another set to collect as has been suggested. Ramly's and T205, and subsets of both, are gorgeous and fun to collect.

The problem with sitting on planes when you sit in the middle is which arm rest can i secure because the 2 dudes on the window and the aisle already have an armrest on the end that i cant reach so they each start with one. Sitting in the middle i always attack the arm rest next to the weaker guy. I think if i took steroids i would try to get both my arm rests if it was a hot girl on both sides i probably dont get either arm rest and they both get 2.

I don't really understand people who leave due to price. You don't have to like what is expensive and there are plenty of big fish out there who aren't interested in pricey cards at all either. Just collect what you like. I don't know why a person must have a cracker jack or nothing at all.

It can get discouraging if you don't have the kind of money it takes to keep pursuing!

Thanks everyone for the kind and not so kind words. After taking several days off and listening to all the good advice I think lowering my expectations for quality will help me in my journey. At the end of the day all that matters is owning the piece of history regardless of condition. In a perfect world I'd love to have nice examples but some of the lower end stuff has so much character that it heightens the desire for me. Thanks everyone.

You can buy an amazing tobacco card any day of the week for $30 or $40. And they are all amazing relics. Things that few people know anything about. History in your hands.

Never really taken a liking to the T206s. A 1914 Cracker Jack was my first prewar card I ever bought. Been hooked since. The rarity,background story and look of them has me hooked. Thanks for the advice though Steve.
