Agreed, great to see a different side showing deals can be made, fair deals where a seller is happy, and education/hard work pays off to a profit.

I notice a few comments on many KZfaq channels of those getting back into collecting after 25 years, myself included. I'm rather systematically in collecting. I'm working on a card of every player and manager in the Hall of Fame, excludes front office executive kind of people. The other if I had all the money in the world of course a complete T-206 set - would not care of condition.

The bank story was suspenseful. Before you got to it...I was wondering about a limit! I agree with you about not wanting to have the cash upfront, since you had no idea what the sale amount was going to be. What if a deal wasn’t reached? Then you’d have all the cash out for nothing
