<p>[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1078774, member: 26972"]yeah.. I know.. one of the worst feelings I got was a collection of wheaties in one of those old green whitman albums I had bought for about $120 lousy pics, no details however it was written in away that I could tell a old guy was selling his collection. I got a message from him later saying. I hope you liked the set. I replied yes it was ok, no problems. IN retrospect, I think he was asking for feedback or he was sad, because when I finally did get around to taking a harder look, nearly all the cents were AU and MSBN!! Pretty sure if I broke it down and photographed properly it will easily bring 20 times what I paid. If I was a reseller, I would have done the right thing and sent a check. but yeah, I too feel really guilty with those home runs.</p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah!!!
