<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 506061, member: 2486&quot;]Dan, as you know it all started for me by my son&#039;s interest in Trains!</p><p>When he was 2-4 years old he wanted to do nothing but play with trains, trains and more trains!</p><p>I found a few coins with trains on them and of course the item you sent him a while back as well. I was at the Bi-Annual Boston Coin Show and saw the Large Size $20 Frederal Reserve Note Blue Seal, currently in my collection featuring the &quot;Transportation Theme on it&#039;s Reverse&quot;, that was it for me. That note happen to be from New York and I thought it would be cool to at least build a denomination set of the Series 1914 Blue Seal Notes for AJ. Have you seen the prices for the $50 and $100 notes from this Series in CHCU??? <img src="http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-004.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well a little reading and research ignighted the flame for what has become the &quot;New York Collection&quot; and my insane idea of obtaining an example of every Small Size FRN from 1928 to Current including stars in AU and above took it first breath 3years ago!</p><p><br /></p><p>Since that time I have learned alot from a few select Dealers, this Fourm and many many many hours of research. My wife often say&#039;s that I am Married to the research..LOL&nbsp; She knows I love Science and Paper Money Collecting is indeed a Science!</p><p>The inclusion of Large Size Notes followed the collection and the History behind them as well as the scarcity of some of the notes has intrigued me to a higher vibration! The Fractionals alone I spent 1 year reading, studying and buying the 4th and 5th Issues of the&nbsp; wonderful little notes from the Civil War era of our History!</p><p>Just the past 2 years I have been adding Rare Large Size notes that runs from 1K to 5K per note and let me say that this puts a serious cramp into the collection budget!</p><p>I am fortunate that I have the means and the profession to support such a hobby, for the $$$$$ add up quickly and the obsession for more is a chemical addiction of the neuronic synapse!! :bigeyes:</p><p><br /></p><p>It has always been for my Son for the day he needs me and I am no longer with him!&nbsp; <img src="http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Sad/sad-023.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope I made it some what interesting with this reply! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Go Noost go!! Glad to have you in our Ranks!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regards to all...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
