WTF goes on in almost every thread?They begin reasonably, then descend into madness.

Agreed. Didn't it hurt? watching Washington carve the same path to a championship that we easily could have taken. I told anyone that would listen, " just make the damn playoffs." All those blown saves. This Beltran move is another shaky gamble. If we don't make the playoffs this year......;.

I remember Beltran with the bases loaded and a 0-2 count against the Cardinals. I remember the bat sitting on his shoulders as strike three zipped by sending Cardinals to the world series..Not happy at all with this choice. That said I will support him as long as I can hoping we get off to a fast start next year. Our window is closing and we won't have this pitching much longer.

Brilliant I gotta stop I'm spraying mountain dew on the keyboard

no no 2.0 + 2.0 = Perlin

IF 2+2 = 4 THEN SAL IS NOT TOP 5....but if 2 +2 = 5 .....

“2 + 2 = 5” or Sal=TOP 5― George Orwell, 1984

2 + 2= Top 5

Flim Flam Glue Sticks fake logo dirty tricks not the published? Maybe ..... no other how much does it cost? hang on, I’ll ask my brother.....

Sickening

It’s funny but it’s also sad cuz it’s true!

May have discovered the low baller insurance protection offer template......To the far right of chart appears maximum low ball.

Wait, can you explain it just once more? Not sure some of us get it..

I wonder about people sometimes. I have a buddy solicited for a cover about 10 years ago on his CAF listed not for sale. The interested party “cleverly” delivered an email solicitation, rife with all the reasons why the cover wasn’t that great. He kindly made a mercy offer In order to check a box on his list until he could upgrade “big time.” My buddy actually responded politely saying, “ I couldn’t in good conscience sell something to you that you clearly disapprove of. I will keep it but thanks for the offer.” What balls. The injured solicitor wrote back “your loss, you’ll never get close to an offer like the one I made you.” again as a refresher this was an NFS item.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”― George Orwell, 1984 They have us toil in the factories. they tell us remove all references of Sal Buscema or Silvio Sal Buscema from the Top 5. Erase them. Replace them with credits to Don Perlin 2.0 or Pablo Marcos. He never was. He never is and he never will be scoff the Cabal. But our time will come.

Often times make an offer is a simple way for a collector or dealer to test, in dollars and cents the interest potential buyers might have for art they own without having to necessarily sell it. Setting a price too high might stale the piece later if they should really have to sell. Setting a price too low may obligate them to sell beneath a "mad money" offer. One of the biggest worries a collector has is selling art and seeing that art flipped (Flip o the day) for a higher price. Make an offer never means low ball me you might get lucky. It almost always means pay too much. If it's a grail you have to have then you will decide what is too much to offer. Finally when something is part of a collection NFS (Not for sale)(Permanent Collection) you still can ask. However you better come with a very serious offer and be polite. Even then you may never hear back from the owner.

We wait in the shadows just outside the top 5. We wait until the Cabal gets into a members only roundtable discussion (he said he heard we have on good authority)over the right time to unload before the impending OA market collapse. Then we strike the keyboards with vigor. We bid into the six figures. Then we sink beneath the floor until the next auction. When the time favors our return you will quake as you hear our fearsome battle cry, " Silvio Sal Buscema!"

If the auction went down today I could have won two Peanuts Sundays for less than 10 K

Well, being a top 5 artist, I'd have to say the sky is the limit.

I heard from very reliable sources that interested parties including the auction house were approached. The auction went ahead as planned. I don't know what was worked out dollar wise. Let all of the Godfather references begin.

Look out Gotham, The Joker's Back in Town was pasted on the cover. the yellow is the glue where stat came off
