Now all of those I have!

I Just paid $350 for a VF ++ copy of WGC # 4--but hasn't arrived yet. I love all 4 covers of WFC--but my favorite is the first.

Yeah I noticed that after I posted my comment, but it's still not that bad of a price for that #1 even in the shapes it's in in my non-professional opinion.
