Collectibles and Methamphetamine, Who'd A Thought!!

Good Evening,
Just got home from work, heard on NPR on the way home that there was the Largest Methamphetamine bust in Years in Denver/State of Colorado. 41 Indictments, Lots of Cash and Get this, the ring was using High Dollar Collectible Comic Books as currency to try and thwart Law Enforcements tracing of the monetary side of the transactions. No other details, but is going to be interesting to hear more.

    It happens everyday.

    Items that are a thought of as a storehouse of value
    have always been used to "barter" for contraband.
