Richard, Hang in there, don't let one person spoil the years of collecting fun you have had and the many more years to come. We have a small number of members who take great pleasure in being negative both on this board and to other collectors in our hobby. Christine and the others are right, let it bounce off and keep the fun in collecting. Use this board and other collectors to help you find what you need. There are thousands of dupes out there in the hands of fellow collectors, the fun is finding them. My 2 and 1/2 cents worth......Jeff
