I might be willing to take that burden off your hands...

Meanwhile, as to the OP and apropros of the National next week:

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just baseball cards! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little hobby into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed collectors.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Collector 1" ] You, you must be almost 60... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Collector 1" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't collect cards, I LIVED! So... move out of your studio apartment! And try speaking to a real live woman, and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just baseball cards dammit, IT'S JUST BASEBALL CARDS!

I thought it would be a neat idea to complete the 1964 Topps set with the ruboff trivia answers still intact. Not something that is high on my priority list. I only have a few dozen. Even though They don't seem to carry a premium it got too tedious.
