Foraging through NNP, found this picture. Old timers, bite your tongue.

Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Tom, Les @WKRP Cincinnati didn't have dark hair.
    (I know you were joshing')

    The show is on my cable system every weeknight
    at 9:30 - some classic episodes, and some duds.
    Fun to watch some of them again, after not being
    run for what seems like decades.

    Some geezers can't read! Good job Fred!

    The picture of Jim Halperin was in the first catalog issued by his company, New England Rare Coin Galleries, in 1974.

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Well, it's not blonde, but it's not black.

    I think I get some dispensation because I
    guessed Jim Halperin so fast!

    Yea, I'm too old to have read the 'old timers' warning,
    but I'll fight ya on Les's hair color.

    Let's talk about Jennifer
