The Joke is on me.....

Many years ago.. at least 30 and maybe even 40,

I purchased this wonderful eagle ….. you can see,

that I kept all the paper work.. Explaining how it

Is “limited series”….

In my housekeeping and downsizing my good stuff,

I came across my eagle and his paper work. The

box fell apart a few years ago..  but I kept the rest.

After all, this will be worth collectors money later..

I thought, I am going to google it and see if it is.

And sure enough… there it was… for sale on

E-BAY… My heart started to flutter, until my eyes

looked down…

As you can see the joke is on me… There were

several for sale.. the highest price was $5.00 and

that was for the ROYAL edition.. and mine is only the

Americana edition… so worth a mere… well, you can see.

So into the Goodwill box it will go.. oh, yea.. I looked to

see the number on it.. there is no number.. why didn’t I

catch that years ago… guess my eyes never went

pass “Limited Edition”

So 30-40 years later… it will cost more to ship it,

than to get my money out of it.. Because I think

I paid something like $14.95 for it. Wonder …does

IRS, give allowances for depreciation in art work?

Because I am running at….at least a $12.00 lost.
