Most of my meteoric rise was due to what you refer to as the reverse King Midas and the other runner up. I will refer to them as the bottom two. 

 Now that both of them have been permanently banned, well it will take a new crop to gain any more steam. 

I guess with the new people coming in from cards do have potential for this, I have to remember to keep myself out of the

The real credit goes to Buzzetta as none of this would be possible with him keeping track of it.

Everyone is in the game whether they realize it or not.  Everyone is a participant in the game whether they want to be or not.

In the case of Dylan, he demonstrates how someone truly retires from the game.  You do not retire from the game.  You are retired from the game.

And yes, respect to Two Piece /Capra / Angel of Death.   That takes skill and good fortune.

I would strongly recommend editing that and deleting that before anyone sees it. Notice, I did not quote it. 

Seems like it was just yesterday that I decided to stop lurking as we pointed out another board members butthurt in a ASM purchase he made on eBay

Seems like it was just yesterday that I googled someone who's name was scribbled on a comic book, learned that he had recently died and wondered aloud where everyone's stuff goes when they go.

Congratulations Buzz #1 !  I didn't think that one would last as long as it did.. 

Man I really have to get my game going.

Aw,just when we were having a good chat,felt like the moulden days!

I was looking for our old PM but the new format...so hard to find old pm's...I have 420 of them though so no one send me new ones!

Damn...420-12 years is a long time.More than a few dead people in those pm's.

I think I should get my old score added on harrumph.

That entire score was retired due to the gap where nothing was tallied.   That was the consensus of those that came before me. 

If you're confused...I know we've had a pm before,I just don't wanna look through the lil scroll bar forever.

Like I have a journal here,but hell if I can find it

I agree.  You are someone that would have been taken high in the draft but are not putting up numbers to justify the contract you have been given here on the boards. 

For anyone that has not seen Roy's new rule... I like it.   @VintageComics

I agree. That is an awesome rule.. if only more things expired at midnight.  

Thank you for sharing that one. 

Man,woman,them,whatever-not a dig at Roys prices,at all,he keeps his ear to the concrete-but the prices I'm seeing these days--I'm scared to look at me comics,especially the copper keys I hoarded in the heydaze of 89-92.I might even release some one day.If Rock would press 'em for me,I'd even consider...slabbbing! 

(precode fans,put your pants on,those are coming to the grave)((maybe get myself taxidermed and put in the Crypt of Quills))

Thanks.

I'm just trying to avoid future arguments as I've already had a few customers come back later and want a price that was previously offered but they never bit on.

Want it to be fair for everyone and not just one side.

It's basically the buyer trapping you into negotiations and drawing them out while they play a wait and see game with where the same book ends up on auction.   K - I just did a bunch of work.  Going to take a nap.

Yeah. This volatile market sucks. Not my fave thing. I prefer slow and steady. Lately the hobby has felt more like the floor of a trading brokerage in the 80s than anything else.

The Pokemon Card Area should just be renamed Caltopia

Also, as of now, the Mets are putting up better numbers than @thunsicker

Apparently Merced, California is the new home for Phil's Parking Lot.

@Jeffro.

Phil's Parking Lot is SOOOOOOO 2000-Teens... The 2020's are all about Merced California

Domo starts to make his way back up from the bottom so he is no longer in Dylan territory. OnlyWeaknessKryptonite ties for 1st place.  Welcome to the boards Adam Lui.  Meanwhile, poor Designer76 enters the scoreboard with -5.   Stu made an appearance as the second to last post but it was determined early on that Stu posts cannot be counted due to the numerous name changes and bannings.  Consider Stu to be like fan interference; it can be great fun to watch but cannot contribute toward the final score.  Stu is a non-playable character.

time to start a Friday thread
