3. This was the house of a long time dealer/packrat.

I had sold things to him before and when you walked into the house it was obvious he was a hoarder. The place wasn't dirty, but he and his wife lived in trails. He had a great eye and I can only imagine what they took to auction. It was the kind of place you might hit it big with an overlooked copy of "Tamarlane" or something. For years I had seen him at every yard/church sale in the area and I'll miss him. I expect I'll end up like he did . . . picking to the end. No trails, though.
