<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2862977, member: 80547&quot;]Sometimes threads hang with no real conclusion.&nbsp; Just an update, I did end up getting a token.&nbsp; I had several that I was watching and somehow my timing just wasn&#039;t right to view them when they were up (pesky work!).&nbsp; While I bid on numerous items, shame on me for not doing my research though I didn&#039;t want to way overpay for something that I had no knowledge of.&nbsp; </p><p>Most of the MS pieces went out of my budget range quickly or were of no interest thematically.&nbsp; Hence, I ended up with a 1845 Umbrella and Parasol Token.&nbsp; I overpaid a bit at 48 plus crazy minimal commission and 7.95 shipping, though I really like the token theme (umbrellas) and it&#039;s an AU 58 problem free (could have gotten several damaged or ungraded tokens cheaper, though I do like that it indicates that it&#039;s from the Virgil Brand collection (I&#039;m sure he prized this one and looked at it every night in his study! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Anyway, didn&#039;t break the bank and now I&#039;m officially a &quot;star chaser&quot;! One article I read about Mr. Brand was that he loved researching about the items he collected.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be sure to do the same.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]682426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]682427[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
