<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2218356, member: 73555&quot;]The dealer Grover Criswell, now passed on, stocked a HUGE number of this sort of thing, about 30 to 40 years ago.&nbsp; His pricelists from that period are still very much in demand, as one of the few sources of data on non-currency items.</p><p><br /></p><p>I attended his IRS-liquidation auction in Jacksonville about 15 years ago and bought several items to give back to him (the IRS didn&#039;t care), including duck stamps signed by his father in the 1940s and 1950s.&nbsp; I first met him in 1957, when he was thinking about running for Congress.&nbsp; He never recovered from the shock of that auction.&nbsp; I do not have an opinion whether he failed to report income or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>He is best-known, however, for his catalogs of, and insights into, Confederate currency, his favorite collectible by far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
