Great pickups, everyone - especially love the Wagner, Matt!

Marquard from Goodwin, Gibson (tougher pastel) from eBay



and a pesky "Anon 3" Recruit - many thanks for the trade, Rob!

I must offer a resounding thank you to my good friend Jon Canfield for my
beautiful Tolstoi pack which I am gazing at this very moment.
I can't scan but if you look at Jon's pictured earlier, you will basically see mine.
It is a real beauty.

Jim,

Thanks for the kind words. I had been searching for 10 years for a Tolstoi for my collection. I've missed one or two over the years on eBay but there are just not that many around. I've only seen 10 or so. There was one on eBay earlier this year and I set a ridiculous snipe for it because I wanted it so bad. Well, someone outsniped me (and paid over $600 for the pack).

About three weeks go, I was excited to finally come across a Tolstoi and there just happened to be 2 of them together. I kept one for my collection and I knew Barry was looking for one as well so offered the second one to him. Unfortunately, those were the only two in the deal.

Hi Barry,
I have casually been doing packs for a couple of years. I have five T206s and a couple of others. 17 is amazing! How many different T206 brands?

I haven't been posting alot on my pickups since I still have along way to go on the T206 set, but I just wanted to share a scan of this one.

I can't get over the borders on this one.
