Phone Call of a Lifetime

[jchcollins]

I've been on hand when stories like this walk into my LCS from time to time, and it's generally somewhat amusing. The last was not modern cards actually, but a lady who had a lower grade '65 Mantle. It might have still been worth $200 or something, but of course she was convinced it was worth at least ten times that. She stormed off in a cloud of anger after the owner offered her I think $150.

In High School I hung out at a local card shop often enough that I was usually there a couple days a week.

One time a guy - who turned out to be another dealer- dragged in a big box of 78 RC cola cans to ask if they wanted them. They pointed at me and said "we don't but that guy does" Six bucks for maybe half the set

Then I had to call mom for a ride home ....Lucky she was tolerant of my collecting.
