Back in 1995, I gave, just GAVE my friend my childhood Arabian Horse in MINT condition. She was helping me move from my Mother's home and mentioned how much she liked it. Knowing that she had a collection of horses, I gladly told her to take it home. She still has it, out on her horse ranch, and she enjoys it, along with the story of me moving and growing up more than a decade ago.
Now the year is 2007, and I am a 35 year old man, I can't help re-building my collection and bought another carded Arabian Horse on EBay for $160. The original was purchased from Montgomery Ward's toy department for $2 on clearance in 1983. Memories!!
