    A couple of years ago, I handled a unique pattern that had most recently appeared in a 1954 Macy's auction.

    Remarkably, I almost immediately found a copy of that auction catalog. It was at the ANA Summer Seminar Book Sale, priced at $1.

  • One or two. They weren't packaged properly. A trime was on a piece of foam in a plastic box. A few years later the reverse that was sitting on the foam was totally corroded.

    My Dad got a beautiful GSA Morgan at Sam Goody's for buying a few records. He gave it to me. image
