Jim,

Thanks for the kind words. I had been searching for 10 years for a Tolstoi for my collection. I've missed one or two over the years on eBay but there are just not that many around. I've only seen 10 or so. There was one on eBay earlier this year and I set a ridiculous snipe for it because I wanted it so bad. Well, someone outsniped me (and paid over $600 for the pack).

About three weeks go, I was excited to finally come across a Tolstoi and there just happened to be 2 of them together. I kept one for my collection and I knew Barry was looking for one as well so offered the second one to him. Unfortunately, those were the only two in the deal.
