A LITTLE SELLER/COLLECTOR BACKGROUND : I WAS A TCA MEMBER FROM 1985 TO 1999 AND UNFORTUNATELY LET MY MEMBERSHIP LAPSE DUE TO FAMILY ISSUES, THE GOOD NEWS IS I REJOINED IN 2001 AND HAVE BEEN A MEMBER EVER SINCE AND HAVE 34 YEARS INVESTED. I AM NOT A SERVICE STATION OR ANY KIND OF LIONEL BUSINESS OWNER...JUST A COLLECTOR. LIKE A LOT OF OTHER COLLECTORS I FELL IN LOVE WITH POSTWAR LIONEL TRAINS AS A VERY YOUNG BOY AND HAVE HAD THE FEVER FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS AND HAVE AMASSED A MASSIVE COLLECTION. IM NOT GETTING OUT OF THE HOBBY COMPLETELY BUT JUST SELLING OFF MOST OF MY COLLECTION. 95% OF THE ITEMS I LIST ARE MINE AND THE OTHER 5% ARE FROM FRIENDS ON CONSIGNMENT. I HAVE A VAST AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE, BUT LIKE ALL COLLECTORS I DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING. I TRY TO GIVE AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEMS I LIST AND LET THE BUYERS HAVE THE FINAL DECISION BY WHAT THEY SEE IN THE PHOTOS. IM ALWAYS WILLING TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE SO FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I TAKE PRIDE IN PACKAGING MY ITEMS SECURELY AND I SHIP NEXT DAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH..TCA #01-53638
