I will pull older notes, fancy SNs and stars if found in circulation or if I get a bug to try strap searching.

They need to learn that such a collector is investing more sentiment in said notes than a market value. So these novelties are not going to classify in th ranks of other graded notes&#039; valuations and this is why I discourage misleading novice collectors that everything they find has some value beyond face when damage, dubious printings and sentimental ideas are being applied to a notes worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
