Massive theft at Dallas card show, Nearly 2 Million Dollars worth of cards stolen

[JollyElm]

Unfortunately, I really don't have much more to offer, but will remind people that an extensive research mapping project (conducted by University of Cologne) found that large portions of Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel were created through the strategic use of innumerable cut up pieces of junk-era commons, which seamlessly created a flawless image when viewed from a distance.

An ancient text (loosely translated) explains the master's reasoning:
"My capabilities of creating lifelike skin hues paled in comparison to what was readily available to me on the counters of most of the stationery stores in Rome...plus, if I picked the right brand of cards, I got gum!!! YUMMY!!!!"

The history books need to be changed to: Michelangelo - "Sculptor, painter, collector."

Elm, we have all been waiting for a full report about your love tryst with the beautiful Bulgarian lovely (OK, she is not for everybody). Hope you got out of Bulgaria safely without her father and brothers wanting a piece of your rear end. Lots of juicy details, please.

Why is it that you just looo-ooove basking in the glow every time my hopes comes crashing down into FLAMES?????

You'll be happy to know that although I thought my darling (call back alert) 'E-Katz' was a stone cold PSA 10 Gregg Jefferies Rookie card, she turned out to be nothing but a PSA 1 1991 Fleer Mark Gubicza in a cracked holder!!! So have yourself an exuberant belly laugh over my misfortune, you son of a so-and-so!!!!!!!!!

As long as it's not a Bulgarian boat. Worked on a couple Bulgarian hydraulic pumps form a Bulgarian ship.
Not good. Although they did work despite being very poorly made.
