    Well, what he lacks in knowledge (and bids), he more than makes up for in enthusiasm. image
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Obviously it is an older lady selling this proof set, Austingram and she’s probably stuck in a time warp somewhere back in the late 40's (Harry S Truman, Thirty-Third President, 1945-1953)

    Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thirty-Second President, 1933-1945 was before her impressionable time.

    That would make her (age 16 mid-way thru Truman's term in 1949) would be in the neighborhood of being born in 1933. Sounds about right...Go austinsgram!

    One day ya'll will get there...trust me! image

    Still funny as all get out though...you see it all on e-bay.

    No, it's even worse, it's from Reno, Nevada! If it was from China they would know which president it is image

    It is easy to get them confused, with Roosevelt not being president for long nor of much significance.

    He obviously doesn't know what he has. He better pull the auction or he will be cherry picked.
