[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4571774, member: 21705"]When I see stuff like this in circulation, I immediately think of two things. 1. Somebody inherited a collection and has no clue about their value or 2. They were stolen, either by strangers or family members. Perhaps because my mother once sold off much of my dad's collection while suffering from manic-depression to buy us clothes she decided we needed (we didn't.) I think they would call it bi-polar now days. She recovered and both she and my father became mental health advocates before it was virtuous. My father eventually served as President of the Texas Mental Health Association in 1976 and my mother helped secure funding for Project Daybreak, a facility for children with emotional disorders.
