The busting chops part or the pictures? You east coast types scare me! Fuhgeddaboudit!
I'm always up for a view of Louis's Museum! Every time you look at the interesting photos you see something you may have never seen before.
Thats what is great about a collection like that, items can be looked at and
studied as opposed to being stored away in a box somewhere.
One day you just might come across something, at an antique or soldier show, and remember it from Louis's photos and make a nice buy.
Over the years I have had quite a number of great finds......just from knowing what I was looking at.
A few years ago I found a wonderful Lionel item with the original box, as it
was being handed to me after the sale another fellow came running up. He had seen the item, and left to buy a price guide from another dealer to confirm what it was.
He was stunned to say the least, not only did he miss the piece he spent
$18.95 on a guide he had home.
Classic items are hard enough to find, you want to know what you are looking at when you stumble across one.
