Hey Big Spender

[tonyo]

This has been a classic and mostly enjoyable thread......True Bruce, it does bring some energy. Thanks to all who have contributed. Although it sickens me to read direct personal attacks and to hear that some folks consider collecting as a competition (I know it's true, I just don't like that it is), it is still an entertaining thread!

The Highlights for me: (in no particular order)

Learning that Chuck Daly coached BC and Penn.
Hearing of Bruce's plan for what happens to his collection when he is gone (I'm impressed much much more with the plan than the actual collection)
Andrew's find of a reference to a singular person.
Eric's "add a female to the want list"
The use of the word "Whilst"
David's description of his low grade collection and his take on the hobby (the post I most identify with)
