We may start off with smaller, fixed-price items such as postal covers, until we can find an ecommerce solution in an auction setting that allows us to take credit cards and money orders.

If anyone has a suggestion, post in the comments!

Then I realized what it was- the kids’ holsters are empty, and they’re hiding the fact with their hands.  I guess political correctness is older than we think.

(The magazine is in wonderful shape, though. You can find it listed tonight on the Alexander Autographs eBay account link to the right.)
