Sir Garry S. Donovan
I just wish you all the best my friend, you have done so much for the communities and such as you may know this yourself.
About your sales, I went for the ebay method with the first collection, and each card in sepperate sales, this was alot of work but it did work out best for the max proffit, the second collection was sold here @VA only because all the 3dfx lads I knew best were here.
as for the 3rd one this went via VA PN, this last method isn't advised unless you know these people very well and they have are willing to pay you a very good deal, or B you are willing to help them out selling somethey were seeking and doing them a favor].
As what TM30 said; via VA and FF may be your best gain, but don't keep ebay left aside, use ebay for the prototypes only, main reason? Well they will get the max attentions and their values will sky rocket!
As for your health situation, I just hope ain't noth'n too spooky go'n around, okay we all get older over the years the older we get the more health issues we get, I know all about this shit heh!.
As for your daughter, Gary she needs you all the most in these critical times, the up comming 20 years will be very important thus vital to her and this might be playing a role and the things causing them difficulties you have with the loss of your brother in the past now them other issues about here.
But bro your spirit is very strong and somehow you will pull your self from this black hole.
I just hope you are not loosing all confidence for living as like I did in the past, and i hope your depressions are not going to end like mine did having massive regrets for selling all your belovered things.
Just a warning from me man that you don't make the same mistakes like I did.
May The Force Be With You Jedi Master Donovan, and be mindful of your thoughts and moves, you will find your way out of this, 2 years is nothing trust me, don't find it odd that itwill take another 2 or 3 before all the shit has been dealt with, my problems since what happened in 1987 til 1988 this is still bugging me from time to time, I have learnt to accept it, but it does not mean I didn't forget what happened.
Just hang in there mate, if you feel like talking about problems just send me an email or PN over here, Just hang in there bro.
