It got me thinking that this may make a good thread. Fill in the blank:

"One who dies o:) with the most _________wins."

    Beat me to it! I thought right away of "friends", but I agree with memories of times with friends and family also.

    Hey Kiyote;
    You can have my Ex-Wife, come to think of it, maybe a couple of my brothers / sisters and for sure at least 2 of my nephews. In all seriousness, give me a shout out PM. You don't have to be alone.

    I think Hef in planning his next incarnation is visiting with his guides saying “wow folks how could we ever top that!”

    'He/she who dies with the most 'whatever' wins.... and is still dead.' Once you are dead, it no longer matters to you.... the living carry on.... You are born, live and die. Have fun, drink wine, collect whatever, don't hurt others and die with a smile. Cheers, RickO

    It would not be hard for a collector with deep pockets to assemble the worlds finest collection of major mint errors.

    The cool thing about a set like this is you can not ever complete it, you would always be on the hunt. Cool stuff will show up that you never knew existed.

    Trade dollars are about s esoteric s you can get in old US coins.

    Maybe next will be mardi gras doubloons from Florida or tool tags from ancient England.

    Stickers that come on fruit have got to be the wave of the future.

    Good one. And soon someone inside would start smuggling all sorts of garbage out of the Mints.

    Once you bank a few plenary indulgences you have a get out of eternal damnation card to hardily partake in wine, women, and excess. Best of both worlds!
