I was 17 and about 299k short 😝 I offered him a box of New Mutants 87 in the early 1990s. Somehow he didn't bite. delekkerste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's Eric (I've never had a definitive name in hand, only bits of intel that didn't seem to point to him), but, as more information has come my way, I've come to realize that nothing definitively rules him out and that it could indeed be him. So, he's going back up on the suspects board (and, given that he's one of only a tiny number of people who could have swung this, he's way up there). Apologies!

Or, was this one of the greatest examples of bid-rigging in modern history? Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
