All I have to say is damn :) you cheapskate had you collected the keys instead of the common proofs that would have been a you suck. Instead I sit here going where did these come from :| old timers must be sittings in, hopefully I lost a $4 Stella I find before I die :o

This could be like an Easter egg hunt after almost 50 years of collecting who knows what may be found. I think I may be my own hero, except I’m the idiot that collected all his life giving my treasures to those looking for self indulgence ;)

    It is good to go through the stuff accumulated over the years....Might even find a Stella... ;) I have not gone through my old stuff in over 30 years....I have occasionally dug out an item or two, but not a major review....I need to do that...This winter on a snowy day... ;) Cheers, RickO

    the mantra "Collect what you like" certainly applies here in a modified form, with the word "how" replacing what. every collector should have some form of inventory and/or look through everything from time-to-time. this is a pleasant surprise but I am remembering the months old thread about the Franklin set like this with the damaged coins.

    Hey, better than a stick in the eye. Rediscovery is always enjoyable when it comes to wading thru the jetsam and flotsam of your early collecting habits. Have a good day. Peace Roy

    It’s always fun finding old stuff youve stashed away and partially forgotten about :)
