Looks like the E-card type-collection I am building will take more time and financial resources. These don't pop up very often. I just missed out on an E100 and those are ultra rare. I looked at what I have spent on in the past months and I could have gotten a few of those rare cabinet cards from the 19th century. Looks like I will have to cut back by jusy concentrating on one E-card per month while paying off the rest of my bill. And it looks like I'll be paying it off until the summer. Oh well. At least it forces me to rethink my collection. And I think it's time now to move on and build that life-long collection of 19th century stuff. I'll probably won't make it in time for the annual Robert Edwards auction in April 2007.
