great acquisitions of a great set from the collection of a key figure in the early history of the hobby.
I have no problem paying a premium for Lionel Carter collection cards because of his early contributions to this fine hobby.
In a similar vein from a vocational perspective, I have collected key tomes
in my own academic specialties from major thinkers' own personal collections.
Admittedly, I have chosen only very,very few individuals to represent the avocational and vocational arenas. The premiums paid were no match for
the personal and professional value I received.
Still, I will add 'to each his own'.
all the best,
barry
