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.

I wonder how Doug Allen sleeps at night knowing that his kids will learn what an utter scumbag he is.
