What gives you a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment has a lot of value too!

Best of luck on your endeavor!

lol...dunno where you got Edward from, my name's Travis but I appreciate the nice comments at any rate! I find it always kinda sucks when you have a really nice card and end up selling it. You always wish you could get it back. Hopefully nothing comes up down the road that'll make me have to sell this '55 set. I'd like to be able to enjoy it for many years to come!

so if I ignore your advice about ignoring advice then...

kind of a chicken and the egg argument yes? lol. I like the one that says "there's an exception to every rule" but is there an exception to that one?

ok sorry...too early in the morning to think that much, hahaha.
