As I was laying in bed last night thinking.....how would anyone know what the current bid would be?? I'm new to this but anyhow, if I get any bids I will post it with your initials and see what happens. If nobody bids I will end up putting the collection on ebay and let you know. I just wanted you all to have 1st chance before going to ebay.
