Congrats -- I belive the pieces are to any CC#, so you will have the complete
set without any issues.  You got a nice price - with pieces, it willbe worth
$700+.  In fact the last CC1 went for $700+ and it was not as complete with
paper documentation.  The paper documentation that this one has makes it a nice
acquisition.

My bid was simply to show Steve that tied bids are really that - tied and the
first bidder leads.  I expected samrtcapitalist to comeback in and he did.

Watch Out Steve,we have a new collector on the block regards,

Michael
