Also, mental note to remind the same people saying don’t rush to judgment to do the same when other institutions are involved. Favoritism abounds. Some of the same people saying wait for all the facts have no issue throwing other companies under the bus based on less. A company poorly shipped items and then continued an auction of items it no longer possessed. Those facts are undisputed and create plenty of ground for a reasonable discussion.

I have yet to meet a person in life that does not use favoritism, not a single one.

Agree. And the key is to recognize it and then not be too judgmental of others when their opinion differs on your selected favorite. Instead, it seems like some feel free to cast stones, but if you do the same to their selected favorite there’s a sudden call for order. Maybe for good reason, but if pwcc did what happened here my god the hounds would be out.

National Brotherhood Week. Great song. Adam, you're the first person I know other than my brother and me who can quote Tom Lehrer.

The Vatican Rag.

One of my favorites is Oedipus Rex

Yes he loved his mother like no other.
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother.
One thing on which you can depend is,
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is!

When he found what he had done,
He tore his eyes out one by one.
A tragic end to a loyal son
Who loved his mother.

And as a chemist, I always loved The Elements.

Tried to get caught up with all this...

This may be one of the craziest hobby stories I have ever heard!

I can't imagine sending something like that to a Best Western...even with the "PLUS"!

I hope the cards are found mainly because the thought of cards as significant as the ones taken could be lost forever makes me incredibly sad!

Such an underrated genius. I can quote a bunch of his stuff, but this one seems just as pertinent today as it was in 1966...

I know that under 1% of people here will care, but when you see a rare mention of Tom Lehrer, you just gotta post something!

+1 to Tom Lehrer. His material was brilliant. I can almost imagine him at the piano, singing about this crazy hobby.
