What I have is nothing Scott. You should see the collections of some of my friends that live in the collecting area. Unfortunately it's a 7 hour drive one way for me to hunt.
Stay tuned. I have 13 more coming over the next week, and 2 more that I'll be bidding on.

seems like you should move house. It's cheaper than driving or bidding and paying freight.
LOL I'd never do that but... ha!
Be nice to those friends. Maybe they'll will their collections to you!

Actually, when you figure in the cost of gas, and the hours spent hiking across miles of grasslands looking for those allusive Fairburns, all the time watching for and dodging those buzz tailed snakes, it's actually cheaper to bid on them. And then there's the little problem of convincing the wife to move away from her mother and brothers. I'll probably be feeding the worms before my friends are, so they need to be nice to me. ;D ;D |
