Pinnacle of Success

Wow! I have now reached the pinnacle of success. While sitting in my small shop this afternoon a customer enters, it is MadMarty himself in person. You know you have it made when MadMarty comes in to cherrypick you. I was so overwhelmed, I let him name his own price on the items he wanted!!!! Bill.image

    Did you get his autograph? How about his calling card (weanie slab)? And what about the paparazzi--did they disrupt your business?

    He must have scored something good today. I just got back from a show and there's a message from him on my recorder. The only time he calls is to brag.

    I did a 300 mile round trip and hit 5 shops today. Picked up some nice proof sets, and some Canada PL sets. Nothing to brag about. Yet!image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Oh great, more material to push me further down in the Canadian Registries ...

    This Marty fella seems obsessed with coins; hope there's a cure for this affliction.image

  • Ohhhhh He pulled that:

    "You gotta go look at my my AU 58 License Plate trick"

    I hope you didn't leave him in your store ALONE ????

    Did you sell him a bun for his weenie??
  • Update as to the question of MadMarty's autograph. I did go into the Men's washroom later and Marty did autograph the wall and also listed his telephone number! I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to the meaning. image Bill.
