[PRCo] Insanity Reigns

[Kenneth Josephson]

Okay, but were the bidders the only dummies? What about the seller who posted such a nice, clear image without printing "sample" across it so the rest of us could right click the image and get a nice copy on our hard drives?

I'm going to monitor her auctions to see if any of the bidders are shills.

Mind you, I might pay $205.00 for an authentic postcard of Sprague's 1888 Richmond operation.......or would I?  :-)    Ken J.
