Arnold's Countdown to 1,000 Posts!

[ArnoldTBlumberg]

Hi all,

 

It's been a joy and a privilege to participate on these boards since October 2002, and I'm excited about celebrating my 1,000th post on any message board anywhere! Where did I find the time to come on here so much anyway? For those of you with multiple thousands of posts, you have my sympathies...and my admiration as well.

 

Anyway, this is my 991st post, so I'll be taking a break from all the other threads - and not a moment too soon, let me tell you - and making this my ten post countdown to number 1,000. Come on in and say hi, ask me about my non-Gemstone work, or talk about Doctor Who. Anything at all. And we'll wrap it up with me posting #1,000. The only thing I ask is that we leave all genuinely heated arguments and/or political debates vis a vis Gemstone, the Guide, or anything to do with my work in comics at the door. Thanks!

 

And just to start the festivities - Dancing Banana!

Who is Arnold T. Blumberg?

[ArnoldTBlumberg]

Oh, and I didn't mean I didn't want to talk comics at *all*, but just what we like to read, collect, etc., that sort of thing if you don't mind.

 

See? Already another one down! Eight to go!

[sterlingcomics]

so, how's it going at Gemstone? Are they going back to NM columns? Why can't we receive this info via electronically? How do you come up with the price guide numbers?

 

...Doctor Who?

I hate each and every one of you with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.

Now this is the type of post I enjoy reading.

[sterlingcomics]

If we didn't chastise you then we wouldn't like you. I think.

Market Reports + Big Big Overstreet Price Guide = ?

Why don't you just buy the regular size, cheap . Then you can get your market reports.

[ArnoldTBlumberg]

Maybe he won't have to if he doesn't want to this year.

 

You know, I post because I care. It's all about the love. Really. It is.

[skybolt]

Heck, if we keep talking about Doctor Who, I'm sure you'll reach 2,000 posts in no time.

So when is the next Gemological Guide due out? I hear the new Refractive Index chapter is a page turner! And can't wait for that exposé on Tanzanite!!!!

I passed a 1,000 posts and all I got was a lousy t-shirt.

[ArnoldTBlumberg]

*takes notes on people to ignore in the next 1,000 posts: povertyrow, deathlok, sterlingcomics, i...*

 

I can finish that later. Stay tuned for my next Guide book: The Official Overstreet Bits of Things We Found on the Highway That Might Be Glass or Possibly Plastic But Look Really Cool When You Hold Them Up in the Sunlight and Tilt Them Back and Forth Guide.

 

The excitement will engulf you!

Have you read Yosel? I started it last night and after about 30 pages I'm really not into it. If you've read it, should I continue reading or should I cut my losses and sell it on Ebay?

[Deathlok]

Why do I get the feeling this thread will be similar to Newt's discovery thread.

[Sharkey]

Check out the thread in Silver about the JIM 76 price variants. Can you get that into this issue of the Guide?
