Ron the pleasure was all mine, I'm very happy that your satisfied with our trade. Your company made a fruitless trip to cleveland enjoyable. And your generous nature has allowed me to almost complete my collection. I had a blast that day, and our deals were well worth the 600 mile drive to columbus.
Also did want to mention Ron's slyvania, came originally by way of boston, talk about the power of this board when sets can migrate to appreciative owners hundred if not thousands of miles away.
So, again ron glad to hear u like the set, I'll have to come out again and see u soon.
