had lunch with fellow board members

Hi All,

I just wanted to say, I met Jimrad a year or two ago from the boards, and can call him a really good friend. Today, I invited him to lunch to meet up with Jeff8877. Jeff and I were helping each other with our 1957 topps baseball sets, so we decided we were close enough to do it over lunch and meet face to face.

I am happy to tell you that he is another truly upstanding individual. If you ever have an opportunity to work with him on a transaction or something, do not hesitate. We had a great time discussing our past great deals, and our flops in this ever so changing hobby!

I echo the sentiment on Jeff. Can't say I've ever met him, but have done numerous deals and they always go great! Where did you eat?

I must say my new good friends are not nearly as adventuresome as I am, but they were willing to try a little Korean BBQ in the neighborhood, and I think they were pleasantly surprised.

Could not get them to try the kimchee though!

Thanks Matt,

Was really nice to put a face with a couple of guys on the boards. Swapping war stories really made for a great day! Lunch was a little "adventuresome" for me, but not bad.

Jimrad lives fairly close to me so I take it you guys are in So Cal? Where? Would love to join in next time!

Yes, today we met at one of my car dealerships in the City of Industry. Please send me a pm with your name and phone number and we would enjoy meeting you as well.

I have an office in Redondo Beach and my in-laws live in San Clemente. Next time I come out, I will PM you, I'll buy you guys lunch.

Has anyone seen my dog? He's been missing for a week now. Hope someone chokes on the microchip!

Just kidding of course, but it was the 1st thing that jumped to mind. Being up all night does that!
