Message:: [QUOTE="tbudwiser, post: 1321973, member: 32774"]True - yet I think it's safe and not insolent to suggest that the OP of this thread found this note strap searching, and he didn't pay over face for it. I'll also point out the fact that he found 3 other stars, making an indication that he is a star collector and not in it to make a million bucks. I at one point was at your level of buying everything and never even wanting something in my collection that wasn't absolutely GEM. Things have  hanged as I have found that for me, it is MUCH more interesting to be able to acquire my own notes and I'm much more proud of the fact that I pulled something out of circulation. What about the history side, too? Believe it or not - some are in it for the history factors. There's no history under someone setting aside a brand new strap of $1's 50 years ago, but IMO, there is history behind a nice looking 1976 $2 Cleveland star note surviving out in the wild for so many odd years. It's Cleveland too, which is a scarcer district for most peoples collections. These are just my opinions on it though. I'd be more than happy to post some of my higher end notes that I paid anywhere from 2-50x face, but I'm no where near or ever will be as proud of the 2006 $1 D* I found yesterday. Still, theres no reason for name calling. I think we're all a little bit more mature than that, don't you think so?[/QUOTE]
