I still feel good about making a fellow collector's day, and arguing about payment for my gift would have made it a lot less fun for me.
This, all day.



That was an awesome gesture on GM's part.

Now you should do the right thing and send Greg a check for the approximate amount of the value of the six cards. Then each side gets what they want and nobody gets hurt.

Disagree as well

It is nice to see the big fish occasionally feeding the small fish instead of always gobbling up.

Big Fan of Greg Morris!

I'll disagree with most of the other posts in this thread. I think Greg pulling these cards out and sending them to Ed was awesome gesture and Ed has one of the best collections I know about. However, if you go back to the original post by Greg in the other thread, he made it clear that Ed should send him what he thinks is fair.

Greg didn't give a price. He left that up to Ed to decide and so now Ed should decide what is fair for those cards. Had Greg originally said he would send them no charge, or even didn't make a reference to a payment, I would have no problem looking at this as purely a great gift, but that's not what Greg originally agreed to do.

It was a gift. I do not expect nor would I accept payment.

And that is mighty magnanimous of Greg to do however reading the initial thread it is quite clear that was not his original intention. Sometimes though you need to take the temperature of your surroundings and swallow. Nevertheless, I commend Greg, regardless of how he got there.
