The Swamp

Maybe that's part of it too, that its not a physical collection. If I want to collect baseball cards and Topps goes out of business, I still have my cards. The market risk is devaluation, not complete disappearance.

You're also describing money

When I can walk into The New Hampshire Map Emporium and buy a map with "Julius Randle Gets Whistled for Travelling" just as easily as I can with money, I'll consider them similar.

I've made myself comfortable that people *might* want to collect Top Shots and so I've stopped asking myself why. This is what I can't do, because you can construct a fake market for literally anything if you want. Like BreweryFans or something where you bid to be a fan of specific breweries and th...

What's the thing where everyone puts money into a pot, and the last one alive takes it? Like the thing Woodhouse was in with his WWI buddies. We should do that. "Hi, I'm The Sybian from a website your husband was on. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I think there's $1,500 in your house that belong...

I’m looking this up now and can’t find anything so I don’t know if I’ve completely made a massive rift up or if it was local and not widely reported.

mister d

Oh boy ... another local/personal angle on this one so I’d say maybe don’t learn more about Floyd Patterson.

(I don’t know how accurate this memory is, but I remember Tracy fighting on actual TV during a massive blizzard and it being the biggest local sporting event since Rik Smits.)

mister d

And thanks for forcing me look that case up, Bapo!

mister d

I’ll try to “rebound” (goalie term) the conversation here and say a friend of a friend’s dad owned a local dealership and worked with Brian Boucher who, by all accounts, was a nice and safe guy.

After I paid him and he was getting his stuff together to leave, he commented in a friendly way, “That’s really terrible music!” And, then he was gone.

Any chance you remember the artist?

Neera Tan-done.

mister d

For sure.

I do the shiitakes (shiits and grits is pretty great), but the fancier ones that cost more are where I've drawn the line so far.

My two favorite home runs I've ever seen in person were both hit by Addison Russell.

There's a pretty dark ... to be made here.

mister d

That's what I call "a bad offsides ruling".

mister d

There's another tweet saying he doesn't really have a relationship with his dad because of shit like this, so it seems to be "a thing".

That was a different Michael Jackson.

Some might say the proof they're all the same is that the only consequences to date are bad press and some people inside the party publicly objecting.

mister d

Lets see where this goes ...

mister d

We aren't allowed to reference Sirota here, but all the nursing home shit has been out for almost a year, just not mainstream.

mister d

So we agree that Johnnie's "remember when there was serious conversation" is factual whereas "remember when Dem leadership actively considered" would not be. Good.

mister d

That's where I am appreciation-wise, but I still have a fear I'll fuck up $28 worth of mushrooms with improper cleaning or heat.

mister d

Those were all serious articles. No one said realistic.

mister d

I wish ... somehow I can justify meat or fish at high prices but I just can't make that mushroom leap. I stole the pic from Serious Eats and only did this because it had been running through my head since Syb's first post.

mister d

I don't think they were serious as in "this almost happened", but they were addressed by people who get paid to do serious political analysis.

mister d

You can google "cuomo replace biden" and see it wasn't just one article.

Pros: Delicious!
Cons: Insanely Expensive!

Giiirrrllllllll ... you’re coaches age!!!!!!!

mister d

I appreciate your Michael Jackson point. I refuse to separate the art from the artist.

mister d

Jesus, my impression was based on stuff that doesn’t include “you can’t withdraw your earnings”. I had read a defector article maybe a week ago hit but not the one linked.

mister d

Right, but having one from 1965 is an inherently limited asset which is the bulk of the value. A new video of Mickey Mantle, one that is on the internet anyway but now says Topps in the framing, wouldn’t (shouldn’t) have inherent value, right?

“So for $80,000, I’d own the copyright?”

“Oh no, absolutely not.”

“But this would be the only version so it would be like one of a kind?”

“Nope. Over a hundred others out there.”

“... ... ...”

mister d

I have three friends who have gotten it and I’ve worked the gymnastics in my head to make it ok for them but only one would I have been personally comfortable with, if that makes any sense.
