I'm afraid I might fall into that group. I'm so focused on finding vintage mugs in the wild that I had no idea Bosko was still selling mugs. Luckily for me I don't buy mugs on eBay anymore and I don't have that kind of money to spend. In this same train of thought, however, I'm seeing ridiculously high prices at local antique auctions these days. Do these people know something I don't?
