  1. Boston Corbett must have been at the beach the day "The Greater Fool Theory" was taught.....
  2. Very nifty. Bud Plant was a groundbreaking distributor, indeed.
  3. I'm surprised at how strong the 9.8 prices still are.... Pretty nifty.
  4. Sweet. You probably have another 6 months to catch up before you guys record another one. Slackers. There isn't any legit excitement around the Dark Key line anyway. I love some of the remarks directed at me in that thread. Nothing reveals one's own sexual insecurity more than constantly questioning someone else's. I *do* love "butternips", though.
  5. So then you are holding on to the rest? Why not sell them? Your website says it is sold out. Yes, the cover stock on these is nice and thick and glossy. It's the kind of stock that looks like when they get bent up from no protection in transit though. And yes, I'll be reading the latest issue of Magnus and Solar before the next podcast, ya dink.
  6. Have you ever met someone who seemed really cool and hip, and you thought you'd be great friends...only to later find out that that brief moment of cool- and hip-ness was just a coinkyidental fluke, and they're really pretty lame and try wayyyy too hard to get people to like them....? Yeah. This thread is like that. Carry on.
  7. You mean it startS sad thEn turns funny ... or that it's more sad thAn funny? Oh come on, that's RMA's job..... I only correct grammar for people I like.
  8. You mean it startS sad thEn turns funny ... or that it's more sad thAn funny? Oh come on, that's RMA's job..... He's obviously not logged on and I don't mind sharing the burden My God, you people love me...you really love me.....
  9. . Oh, really? That was six years ago! I obviously learned since then I told you he keeps files.....
  10. I hope you get it! why 1900 and not 1800? Is that a local line or smth? 900 numbers were pay-per-call or pay-by the minute numbers that were big in the 80's and early 90's. The charge for the call would end up on your phone bill. Effectively the opposite of a toll-free call. Not that I would have any knowledge of such things. I've just heard. My friends and I used to call 1-800 and then make up stuff like hot muff or big tits just to see if they were sex lines. That is awesome. Miss Cleo says to call her now.
  11. You're wildest dreams are peeking through again. We can see him for what he really is now. He's been in denial, I know it wouldn't last forever. He went to Egypt with RMA. That, is where I draw the line. A comma there is unnecessary. But I'm still glad you miss me.
  12. Alluring isn't the word I would have chosen. I think he needs a good dose of RMA. You can't spell MRSA without RMA Awwww. You guys miss me.
  13. I`m fully aware of that. If you go back and read threads from 2004 and 2005, I actually made posts saying that not every ultra-HG book was a press job, particularly BA books, because anyone who had been collecting for a while would realize just how many pristine books were sitting untouched in collections. However, the sheer volume of pressing over the past few years has caused me to change my tune, because it does seem like whatever COULD be worth pressing does end up getting pressed at some point. What makes me sad, and one reason I crusade against pressing, is that the pressed books have tainted everything else, since we don`t know which books are pressed and which are genuine and end up just tarring everything with the same brush. I emjoy reading your posts, but I believe you have become paranoid about presed books. I press books here and there, and usually end up sellig them for whatever reason. But ever since CGC changed the BA/MA tier dates I would think there are less BA books being pressed, since profit on many "average" books are barely worth slabbing alone, so adding extra shipping and another 10-15 bucks doesnt make sense from a business standpoint. And I am sure there are plenty of 9.8s to be had out there, this book is from the age of bags and boards and collectors. There will likely be another 9.9, IDK if pressing will help it though. Like I said, I like your posts. But I think you have become paranoid about rampant pressing. I am not anti-pressing, at all. But I would be willing to bet that more books have been pressed in the last 24 months than were pressed from the delivery of the first copy of Obadiah Oldbuck forward. Here, let me fix that for you. "I would be willing to bet that more books have been pressed in the last 24 months than were pressed from the delivery of the first copy of Obadiah Oldbuck to that point." As it stands, both contentions are to the present day, which would make your hypothesis incorrect. ROLFMAOOMGWTFBBQ. Chainnball says "suck it and he loves you." Owned by a giant dork. Happy Christmas.

  15. Is that like suddenly getting pregnant..? What a mess that was.
