Not saying it happened or it didn't,just saying don't write it off out of hand without investigating first. When I die, my brothers are gonna be like "what's this junk?" about this set hanging on my wall and give it to goodwill most likely, and could have coin shopped it for a $100 or so. probably take my whole collection to the bank, I'd like to think they were smarter than that, but..... yeah.
