Anger at vintage card prices?

I don't get angry at card prices...I take it out on the card!

You can try to take it out on the card, but what are the odds that when you wake up in the morning Bobby Ewing will step out of the shower clean-shaven and uncreased, almost as if the entire episode was merely a dream?

No anger just occasional disappointment when I go strong for a card and lose out. Disappointment lasts until the next mailday when I add something else I love.

My collection already far exceeds what I dreamed In could get as a 12 year old getting into vintage. Every time I look at my cards I feel fortunate.

I do not allow Mr. Ewing access to the bathroom, and have sealed the bottom of its door in such a fashion that it would be impossible for him to sneak away and slide underneath it. As a further deterrent, I have set up Mr. Harry 'Trotsky' Hinchman to stand guard.

Great card, Brian -- the T206 Trotsky is my new new white(beard) whale!

With a Tolstoi Russian Mouthpiece reverse, of course.

I wish it were mine...I didn't pursue it hard enough a decade or so ago when it popped up on Ebay, so all I am left with is the scan. I didn't save the back scan, but the Tolstoi brand would of course have been Leon's smoke of choice, so I'm going to say the back was Tolstoi!
