Man, I missed the deadline! If there's any way I could participate again, I'd love it- I frequently talked to my wife about it, and it really made her open her eyes and ears more.

Even though he missed the deadline, in the spirit of the holiday season, I'm all for allowing CNote to participate. .....unless he wins. Ha. Kidding. Good luck all!
Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all.

Not for long. I think I may have taken your spot as of yesterday.
Now that my 'flash to trash' segment of the journey is nearly complete, and in only the first month, I have just over eleven months to reclaim the top!

Please put my $9,000 to work as follows:
$4,500 in shares of ARIA

One of these years I'll get lucky and make it into the top ten.
