I can't believe that set went for that much money. I had that set about a year
ago. I sold it, but not for that much. It was on Ebay for $20 ended at like
$35 with Shipping. People are going crazy, this is nuts. What has happened to
this hobby. I quess someone really whated it. I bought that set with a huge
lot at a yard-sale when I was in High School the lot was like $20 at the most
if I think. Well I still have many real sets, I should explore and see what
they are worth.
Sincerely,
Jim Piccuito
