  1. I'm a physician, we're expected to work long hours and be available because people's health matters. Newly minted docs are coming out and don't want to take call, don't want to call patients back, don't want to get up early or stay late, don't want to work nights. It's not all of them, but the trend is there and obvious. Everyone notices it, but nobody knows how to fix it.
  2. Sure. I was once young and incredibly stupid. But I never asked someone to fund my stupidity, and I accepted the consequences of my stupidity as my own.
  3. Yup. I busted my hump for 18 years after HS getting training, adding debt, then working for less than minimum wage. I drove clunkers the whole time hoping that I could get to and fro. Lived in cheap housing, skimped on frills, pulled more overnight shifts than I ever thought I could survive. I watched my friends who graduated college get good paying jobs with retirement benefits while I just got more and more debt. Now I'm making good money and being responsible with it, but apparently I'm "greedy". But 21 year olds want to be able to buy a house, drive a BMW, and travel to Ibiza every few months right after graduation.
  4. $12.6M for one card, and we were wondering if the $25M promise collection would tap out the market.
  5. Do you have any of the late number Paul Terry books with the painted covers?
  6. The esteemed RHG is most likely correct. The 'C' code could be Ohio books. The others aren't consistent with any pedigree to my knowledge. The 'P' stamp looks very consistent with a number of 'T' stamp books I've seen from the same era. I've tried to find out about their history with no success. Very pretty books nonetheless.
  7. Thanks Mick, I purposely chose the war covers and washtones. And the T-rex/A-bomb cover, because there isn't much more awesome than that.
  8. Dear God. And people do this voluntarily? That sounds like torture.
  9. Can someone clarify something for me? Whatnot appears to be like ebay only with live sales?
  10. The person who submitted that IH 181 has already talked about it on the boards. It wasn't faded when it was submitted.
  11. Yikes. Seems like there should be some coding in the software that wouldn't allow a label to be printed unless all the fields were completed. While not the most impactful of errors seen in this thread, it's egregious in how absolutely unforgiveable it is. This should never happen.
  12. In part due to how rare it is. I know several people looking for one, but when was the last time you saw a copy for sale? Looking at Heritage, there has been only one offered since 2005
  13. I'll take Jimmy Olsen 40 & Detective 308 @ $75 off
  14. So happy for you buddy.
