Touché. I guess that’s definitely another way to think of it that I didn’t consider.

Historically collectors have bought sets and lots to upgrade their own holdings. Today it might just be all about the break and the profit. Since abandoning the T205 set I am back to types and cards I like. (preferably with some borders left on the card)

Abandoned T205? Say it ain't so! You had a gorgeous set going.

I was looking at the Memory Lane set for that exact reason. Upgrade my set and sell off the rest. I was the underbidder on it and still kicking myself a bit for not going higher although you never know what the final hammer price would have been.

Strong price of $175K with buyer's premium for the set.

Since I am a retired postal worker, this is really embarrassing. I received my Mile High catalog today. Yes, the one for the auction that ended on January 23rd. I contacted MH and asked them to complain to their local Postmaster.

It is a beautiful catalog, with some great items. I didn't see any Louisiana items, so I wouldn't have bid anyway, but the USPS really did a poor job on this one. I wonder how many other catalogs were delayed?
