I stand and salute him.
Forty years ago Lionel Carter and Frank Nagy helped me progress in the vintage collecting hobby. I've been at it off and on ever since. Once in a while I've given a few cards away. From the reaction pf the recipients, I felt almost as good as if I were the one getting some new cards.
Thanks again, Brianruns10. Bravo. Bravo.
