Default Lionel Carter Letter about the hobby - 2003

Got this from a board member, and thought it had pretty cool insights from Mr. Carter and some good hobby references. Love what he says about the '33 Goudey Ruth cards Signed by him at the end, neat piece if you ask me.

Just wanted to share.

It's unfortunate he was scared into having to sell his beloved sets. I never did trust the storyline that was given. As a friend of mine said in analyzing a fight scene in First Blood, too many right angles.

Didn't Doug Allen say the "gypsies" stole his cards?

Yeah, and somehow he predicted well in advance they all would be returned, and there was other stuff too that just seemed too convenient for me. And of course they happened to end up consigned to Mastro because the "theft" scared Carter so much. Whatever.
