Our Hobby is still going strong in spite of the down economy, yes, I know that many of us will never get the opportunity to own one of these but on the other hand how many folks own a T-206 tobacco card with Wagner? Not many. I know that many complain about the high prices now, like back in the 70"s I could get this for 20-30 bucks. Yep, and gas was .25 a gallon, a candy bar was a nickel and so was a coke. Try buying a new car now for $2,500, more like $25,000. In hind sight, maybe I should have bought more of those Indian Queens back in 1989 for $125. Almost as good as holding gold. I do believe that buying quality bottles, and holding them is better than a 401K in the stock market. That I get to look them any time I want (no taxes either!)
