All I can say is I'm glad I got the one I did. It was billed as "the last of
the last" refering to the fact that it was seemingly the last of the unsold
"printers error" editions. It may not be the last uncirculated TBON, but
then who will ever really know which one is. I copied all the ebay stuff,
emails to the seller and Norm etc.. Might be 50 years from now my
documentation will hold up to hearsay and I might have "something" on my
hands. Imagine reading the drama of how I "sniped" it literally with one
second to spare (it truely was the very last second) on Ebay. Read on
furture about Norm's candid email comments about the whole affair regarding
TBON and signing my book (apparently few were). It is a story unto itself
about how I aquired this "Antiquity." About the "printers error" edition,
well, hey, aren't the rare coins the ones that were double struck. Most
people have the correct copy of TBON, but few have the rare printers error
edition! So in 2051 when Tigers are going for say $80,000 and TBON for
$5,000 I will have done well on my $310 investment. Oh, no, I think this
"Winter brain freeze thing" has now struck me too! Regards, Tom Witt
