I remember when i won the GR DD#10 CGC 9.2 on eBay (at the end of the year 2005).
I was aware that Brad was the GR collector but i also wanted a few ped books for my high grade DD collection (i already had Western PA, Winnipeg, Curator & Oakland copies).
So i won the GR book. And i didn't know at this time what was the eBay's id of Brad, and that i was bidding against him.
Brad congratulated me for the win. All is said.
And if one day i must sell it, Brad will be the first i'll talk to.
(i didn't forget that it's Brad who PMed me in 2004 when he was selling the Curator copy of DD #39).
Oh and btw, this is my 3000th post
