Shakingit is a guy that lives about 20 miles from me. He comes to my house once in a while to visit as he worked with me when he was just out of school. He now owns a fuel tanker business. His collection is mostly new stuff and all just thrown in boxes. He buys on a whim just so I think we have something to talk about. His 15 yr old daughter got raped just before Thanksgiving and he has been in the dumps. I have spent more then the normal time with him trying to get his moral up. He knows I’m a little disinterested in collecting after seeing what Sam has and I not even being aware that he existed. His collection has reached what I had hoped a lifetime of collecting would accomplish. Rich knows I watch ebay for Ted auto cards and is trying to get me ignited again I’m sure. He would not bid on a card that I asked him not too so if you need one that he has bid on let me know. (I asked him to bid off on the Gold/Silver 97 Pinn Xpress metal cards that are on ebay, as I like to use them for office paperweights and plan on getting them). He won’t join here, as we are nothing but old men needing to get out more according to him.
Prices seem to be higher now but they are normally higher early in the year and drop later, after the season.
Losing Kyle as a Juan collector was a great loss as a representative of us Gonzalez collectors in the hobby!
