Default Has anyone bought back a card they used to own?

Posted By: howard

When I was a kid in the early 80's I had a friend who had various psychological problems including kleptomania. He used to steal cards from me on occasion but he would give me back more and better cards. For example he took a '58 Ford and later gave me a '60 Mantle before I even knew the Ford was missing. As long as I was getting the better of the deals I let this go on. Sadly, it soon became evident that he was running a sort of Ponzi scheme, stealing from one friend and giving to another. In all he involved at least six of us. We did our best to get the cards back to the proper owners.

Anyway, in keeping w/the original post (sort of) I got most of my cards, including the Ford, back.
