I have been collecting for about 13 months. I had 
been interested in collecting for years longer, 
but could never justify the cost. I had other 
higher priorities, such as a condo downpayment, 
car payments, etc. Then I unexpectedly won some 
money and was able to pay off the bills and still 
have some left over. I then went on a huge buying 
spree. That's when I got most of my LU cels. 

However, I did get one cel as a freebie long 
before I started collecting in earnest. It's not 
the type to hook anyone, but heck, its my first 
cel. ID anyone?
