I have a set just like it, but not in the wrappers, and in new condition!

My grandfather always used to tell me: "Well, people talk about those 'good old days'.... well, these are the good ole days.
I suppose growing up without a home, water, or food will make you say a thing like that, and make a youngin' like me think twice before thinking there were perfect days in the past or perfect ones to come!!!
cheers, bird

Post by: 1930 on September 27, 2011, 05:21:49 AM: No I did not even pay attention after my last comment to the auction, my space is limited for collections so I stick with what I am most interested in.
