Message:: [QUOTE="Ladies First, post: 1263581, member: 21961"]I was wanting to share something evil for my 666th post. I went to my favorite Mom & Pop's collectable store not long after the management had changed hands. As a YN, I needed some blue Whitman folders and I found a bunch of used ones; one of them had a complete set of Rosie's still inside! I bought the folders in bulk at 15 cents each. About a year later I was in the store and, remembering the "deal" I had found the last time, I looked through the pile of Whitmans' on the floor. I found a Lincoln One book with a lot of holes filled. I took it up to the counter to buy it and the guy opened it up, asked me if I wanted to buy it, took out the two "$12 coins" and offered it to me for $30. Since I was hoping for the 15 cent price, I turned him down. The worst part is this: If this were to happen to me today, I would not hesitate to bring the oversight to the attention of the dealer and yet, in my memory, I still kick myself for not burying that penny folder in a pile of used folders, as it happened in my original heist! :devil:[/QUOTE]
