<p>[QUOTE="vincent2920, post: 178512, member: 5138"]Hey Bone , I'll go back a little further in time , the 50's when I was just a young kid and somehow began with a few old Wittman albums. I remember my Aunt Betty ( who worked for tips at Danny Dickman's Restaurant in Baltimore ) would stop by our house at let me look through her change. Back in those days money was tight , so if I found a quarter I needed that was about all I got for that day. I don't remember caring much , if at all , about the conditions the coins were in . only cared about the dates. If I saw one that looked shinier I would trade her even up. My grandmother would also let me look at her pocket change once in a while. I'll never forget what happened that one day in the past. I found a 1909-S-VBD and thought my collection was near completion ....BUT WAIT !. my mom says .. Hey Dickie Knight needs that penny to finish his collection so we should give it him ! And so we did. To this day sits the emtpy slot in the Wittman folder , and Dickie .. wherever you are ... you owe me one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
