Inspired by RYK's thread, wouldn't it be cool if there was some sort of contest to win lunch with QDB at a major show? Maybe for a total of 3 or 5 winners so it's small & everyone can participate in conversation. I'd enter if I knew I'd be able to attend the show. image

    Let them bid it up like Warren Buffett, and donate the money to a YN event, scholarship. I would right a nice check to have lunch with QDB!

    Good idea but that would cut out the collectors with a smaller budget. image

    How about a raffle? Get QDB involved, sell tickets for $25, and winner gets lunch with QDB at a mutually convenient coin show. QDB, ANR, and PCGS get good publicity in Coin World. Money is raised for United Way (uh-oh, here come the critics) or Make-A-Wish or Salvation Army or American Cancer Society or...

    I thought you would ask him. I heard you had an in. When you are dropping off my bids for the Gentleman's Collection, just mention it to him in passing.

    I knew someone would not like the United Way--but did not figure it to be you. image

    FUN '05 I was at the same table with him. Does that count? image

    Didn't cost me anything as it was the PCGS Registry lunch. HRH was at the table as well....so were a few folks from the board here that I recognize and were cool to meet.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Great idea but no way $25, might want to get a few of us YN's involved. $25 might be a bit for a lot of us. I mean yeah, a whole bunch of YN's really wouldn't fit much in the conversation IMO, but YN's my age. Something like $5 or $10 or start there and donate more if you want to. QDB I think would totally be willing to do it, and I think this is excellent. It'll will probably end up working. Good luck with it guys.image

    No problem with QDB--Like his books--not sure I want to have lunch--I'd rather have him autograph my books!!
    Curmudgeon in waiting!

    Sorry, mate. Some things are meant to be for adults. image

    When you are my age, there will a raffle for lunch with TDN. image

    I think for the 1st Annual QDB lunch, the first 5 people that posted in this thread get to go first! image

    I have studied over his most recent books on type coins, Morgans, and Double Eagles. I think I would learn a lot.
    The strangest things seem suddenly routine.
