Let's have a little fun tonight, and for a moment consider money no limitation. What note or notes would you buy? Would the direction of your collecting goals change?

    First I'd buy Billy Baeder's USARare private collection. Then I'd buy John DeRocker's collection (of course, leaving some of the notes he's reserved for his kids). How am I doing...how much is left?

    I would take a full set of Silver Backs and Educationals for an An amuse-bouche... All in the finest possible condition!



    And then I would finish my small size design set and expand into so many areas I would have to hire a team to manage the cataloging.

    I would chase after the select $5SC and $5 Feds on my want list. First call is to Doug and then I am hiring a PI to find Larry. Once completed, I am an aggressive buyer of ALL $5 SC mules and varieties. FRBN's and Iowa national next. So much money and so little time!

    I just checked my numbers. I won't be buying anything other than my normal stuff. Looks like I won't be retiring early.

    Did you get to grade the #1 or this note? I remember a few years back they had the #1 on display at PCDA in St. Louis. Spectacular note.
