If you can give me the serial # for this $100 bill I'll have my daughter send it to you (lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I would keep the $100.00 and so should your daughter. Reminds me of a time I was buying Magic the Gathering cards and I was buying a bunch of lots from a seller who was selling Legends packs. The pack was opened, and then sold if he didn't get what he was looking for. The rare was listed and "comes with the uncommons and all the commons." I bought quite a few of them, and they arrived as stated. What the seller didn't seem to know was that in the Legends set some of the uncommons are valuable. Thanks for that pack mint Mana Drain! On second thought never mind it got stolen at a comic show a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Zen Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I bought a Spider-Man from around '77 and inside was the original receipt from 7-11 when it was purchased. That's the most interesting thing I've gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a set of 4 of them, and I had 2 multi-player game decks that were awful to play against. 1. Chaos Orb+ Argivian Archeologist. Cast Mana Drain, get all of YOUR mana, use it to drop a Chaos Orb on your played cards. I was deadly with my Chaos Orb as well. 2. Mana Drain (4) + Time Walk(4) + Time Twister (2) +Regrowth (2) + Demonic Tutor(2) +Ancestral recall ( 4) +Candelabra (2) and a few creatures usually Serra Angels. Obviously this is before cards got restricted. I played this deck a lot before Legends and once my "engine" was going it was game over because no one else got another turn. Usually that happened in just a few turns. I retired the deck as the friends I played with told me they wouldn't play if I used that deck ever again oldmilwaukee6er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I have a friend whose grandmother is/was (dunno if she's still alive) a bit of a hoarder. She told her children and/or grandchildren that she hid large bills in the various old newspapers and stuff that she wouldn't throw out so that they would have to go through them when she passed to find them. My friend wasn't sure if she ever actually did that, but the notion that she might have has just become a little more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting totally off topic, but I had a buddy with a crazy aunt that told everyone in the family she hid tons of cash in her house. When she died they tore it up and found nothing. A final parting joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't jump on the internet or order your own? He eventually got the dvd though I think. Hopefully it brought him, ummm, hours of enjoyment.

Mercury Man Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 My wife bought a pair of J Crew jeans on Ebay for $10. When they arrived there was $20 bill in one of the pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassemble Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Found a Marvel Two-In-One #46 in a dollar box at a used book store. Thought it had the jeweler's insert because it felt thick. No, it was a ripped out Penthouse centerfold. Since the book came out in 1978, the person who put it there was probably in the same age group as me. I probably would've used a comic to hide it too. porcupine48 and KryptoSpidey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KryptoMayor Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I bought a New Mutants 98 a few days ago and a Deadpool Sketch card and a signed Liefeld postcard was inside. I thought that was neat. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
