Chances are he will own it for awhile.

Barry,

I was reading through some old publications last night and re-read your "Candid Look At The Hobby" in Vol 1 of the VCBC. You could almost redate that article and publish today without any changes. I guess 17 years is just a drop in the bucket of vintage card collecting.

Do you think I remember what I wrote? Glad it's still relevant.

i won the clarkson cabinet on the auction (and no, i haven't put it up for sale on ebay yet . i agree that the auction house did a good job of marketing the cards, especially considering they had no previous experience selling cards of that type. the auction house manager was a class act. he relayed a story to me about the consignor of those cabinets. the consignor was a vietnam vet who had exposure to agent orange, and has had subsequent medical issues as a result. in addition, his wife has cancer and has had bills run up during her hospitalization. this is truly one of those stories where everyone wins.

Welcome to N54 and great pickup on the Clarkson.
Were you in attendance?

thanks Craig. i was a phone bidder -- the distance to the auction house made it an impractical trip. i would have liked to have seen the King Kelly in person, what an amazing piece.

Congrats on the Clarkson Cabinet---I was the underbidder at the auction on your card---the phone bidders were tough to outbid---I did win the Pop Jones---I would have loved the Clarkson---but just couldnt keep up with you---good luck with the card---it was a great auction and yes Saco River did a wonderful job with the cards and getting the word out---needless to say Net 54 was a big help to them.----Don
