<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 3248503, member: 80804&quot;]i have managed to buy back a few pieces over the years. Typically sold at a time of need. I always feel lucky even just encountering my flip tickets (I make distinctive flips) in display cases out in the &quot;wide world&quot; I&#039;ve sent many a piece out sporting my handiwork - not necessarily from my collection. When I have both the opportunity and the funds to make it possible, I&#039;ll usually go for it.</p><p><img src="http://www.stoa.org/albums/album175/01_08_14_11_Philip_III.sized.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>This Philip III spent a decade &quot;vacationing&quot; with friends before I welcomed it back into the fold a couple years ago.</p><p>As for the pieces I sold which I am pretty sure I will never again be able to afford to own even a lower grade specimen of the type - well, I don&#039;t like to think about those too much. It is handy, however, to have a reserve of salable material against those inevitable times of need.</p><p>I&#039;m sure I have several others - occasionally bought back for less than I sold them for - but I&#039;m not thinking of them offhand. The Philip is memorable for the number of hands it went through before I got it back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
