You just have to love this hobby....and, certainly back in the 1980's.

I don't mean to derail the thread, but for some reason this post reminds me of an eBay listing I saw a couple days ago. Look at the article in the background. A dealer purchased 40,000 Gary Sheffield rookies for $30K. As Ted said, "You just have to love this hobby....and, certainly back in the 1980's."
