<< <i>Does anyone remember the story (circa 1990-91 or so) of the kid who tricked the wife of a dealer to sell him a Nolan Ryan rookie for $12? The card was marked 1200- obviously $1,200. But the kid, taking advantage of her ignorance, convinced her to sell him the card for 12 bucks. It went court and now I can't remember the exact decision. >>
Ya, I remember that. Wasn't it a Cobb tho? It was like a 12K card at the time and someone sold it for $12.00. It was sold and the money went to charity or something. Both parties agreed to that, didn't want the other to have it.

...and yuck.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
<< <i>This actually, sorta, happened to me at the show I did this past week. Luckily it didn't linger. I had a gentleman, who was very nice and bought several items from me, who had obviously not showered in an extremely long time stop by my table...not once, not twice, but three times. Which was great for my wallet. HOWEVER...several guys kept walking because the smell was that bad. I almost threw up when I saw food fall out from under his chin. Then I felt bad for him. Seriously considering bringing air freshener next time just in case someone drops a bomb. >>
Guru - are you in the vicinity of Cranston ? Sounds like a guy I see at the Cranston show. >>
He was a the shriners show. Funny I had mentioned to my friend about this thread earlier in the day. The guy came right up behind us! He's been nicknamed... Big Pung (pronounced sponge -"s")
