Eric Stahlhut Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 this really wasn't that long ago. after viewing some of the insane prices these days, i'm afraid that this hobby has become too rich for my blood. sigh...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Make an Old Boy cry, you beast!!!! Actually, I don't remember prices on a double bars GVK ever being THAT low... and I remember people who cleaned up after The Last Supper. That's a indeed--can you actually remember when you got it?
Eric Stahlhut Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 ummm...1999ish? portland, oregon--old OMSA member and very kind man who went by the name of John Woolaston.he was a ww2 vet who remained over there for 20 years or so. he had an amazing collection.
Guest Rick Research Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 "ummm...1999ish"AAAAAGGGGHHHH That would have been a bargain in 1979 from Jack Sweetman's catalogs of Happy Memory. I got most of my Austro-Hungarian bullion from him in Florida back before the Hunt Brothers' Great Melt-Off. Alllllll gonnnnnnnnne, gonnnnnnnnne, gonnnnnnnnnnnne. I figure it'll take me 4 days to drive cross country. Poor sense of direction and my map reading skills are notorious. See you... Wednesday about dark... :rolleyes:
Eric Stahlhut Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 tell you what. if you drive that ww1 russian tank over here and back, you can have the thingy for free!take your time :cheers:
ccj Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 tell you what. if you drive that ww1 russian tank over here and back, you can have the thingy for free!take your time Wow, nice medal but [it] may not reach its sticker value for another few years...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Wooohoooo excellent strategy, Charles!!!!!
Eric Stahlhut Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 here is another. LARGE medal in case you didn't notice.
Guest Rick Research Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Hmmm. The two bars increase kaching by orders of magnitude (I've never had the privilege of even SEEING a two-bars "live"), but that's about what I was paying in the early 1990s, so not too far out. Got my first Karl Large Silver back in the late 1970s for $15 bucks.Allllllll gone.
