Congratulations on your nice find.

I've been collecting for 32 years (since age 9), and I've only felt that feeling once or twice. The best example was about 1o years ago, in my own neighborhood, I was noticing that there was a gully where people had started throwing junk. It's a nice area, so the city would come clean it up right away. Then the sinking feeling would set in every time I'd pass there, NOT wanting to see a mattress or an old fridge dumped again. But this particular Saturday morning, there WAS junk. But not a fridge or a sofa; it was a 1954 CBS-Columbia color set with the 19VP22 tube in it!!!!!!! In mint condition!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a feeling that I bet you're thinking of
