[Mccoypottery-talk] the list

There are so many new cookie jars that are available at a price of $10. and 
some less. The last time I bothered to count the cookie jars available at 
Wal-Mart there was 14 different ones and the most expensive $12.50 most 
$9.99. I doubt that any of those jars will ever be collectable except to 
someone that is just wanting jars with a Santa on them or some particular 
animal.

The Storytime Jars appear to be well painted with detail.  I liked the use 
of 'vintage style' in the one description.  Putting the bottom of the jar in 
the ads even to say "We are not ashamed to show our bottom". Would make 
people l@@k at the bottom.  "Do you have all of the Storytime Jars" will 
make some want to collect yours.

Some people cannot be educated,  We had a dealer that had one of the LRRH 
jars marked as McCoy up at Collectomania.
Had a lady wanting to buy it for $100. another dealer told her that she 
didn't think it was authentic and had her bring it to me so see what I 
thought.  I of course did my thing to educate her and she finally said. 
"Well maybe McCoy made just a few of them and not enough to be featured in 
the books.  Maybe that will make it worth more in years to come"

You cannot educate those among us that still believe in Santa and the tooth 
fairy.  Betty, the Okie in Iowa
