Figured this type of survey question would be good for similar minded collectors as well. I'm sure there are many others like me out there.

Oh, and the #4 question regarding significant items you own isn't strictly a "most valuable card "question. Many things can be significant, but not necessarily as expensive as other items due to such rarity or lack of general knowledge regarding a particular item. For instance, I've seen your Dots Miller card run with the weird looking oversize glove on it, and it is super impressive. I also know from completing my own E102 set that that Miller card from the E102 set is almost impossible to find, and thus a somewhat significant card. Not as familiar with every set you have one of those Miller cards for, but I'll bet that E102 Miller was a little tougher to get than many of the others.

Great to hear about your collection and what you have. (And thank goodness I only listed sets I have 75% or more of, and only talking pre-war, or I'd probably still be typing. LOL)

Bob...the 102 was my first...thus starting the run!!!
