Back in the Fall of 1981, good ole long time collector/dealer and close friend, Bill Bossert, invited me to his BB card shop in Swarthmore,
Pennsylvania. Bill and I were avid uncut sheet collectors, and he wanted me to check-out several vintage uncut sheets he had acquired.
At that time, this 34G Hi # sheet was loaned to Bill by Rob Lifson for Bill's article in the Spring 1982 issue of the Baseball Cards Magazine.
This 25-card sheet was reasonably priced in 1981. I was tempted to acquire it. However, my daughter Debbie had just started College.
And her tuition costs were a higher priority to me at that time than me owning a 47-year old piece of cardboard.
So, I came very close to acquiring it. Anyhow, it's one of my few regrets in this hobby that I didn't.
Best regards, good friend.
