Ask him for it, when he says 'no', say ' I'll give you 20 bucks for it '.

Amazing, I might add. That people can be so stupid.

Maybe we can get a pool together.
I'll put up $20
money is tight atm and that is all i can afford without the wife scalping me. But, if i can siphon off some more I will.
I dont know what something like that is worth money wise but, I agree it should be preserved and given to a museum or something for future generations to see
Crap now I gotta redo my cool sig.....crap!!! I cant remeber how to do it all !!!!!

Talking about saving this newspaper and people donating got me to thinking.

What if, and I know this is a long shot, but what if the AH community as a whole somehow formed some type of museum?

I'm guessing it could be in the Dallas/FW area close to where HTC is located and where the cons seem to be located in the past couple of years.  I know the logistics would be tough to tackle as far as a building, finances, who would run it and look over it, how accessible it is to people, etc. but every museum starts out that way.  I know that with the tons of members of the community and the plethora of memorabilia, artifacts, art, books, etc. that people have, I think it would be an amazing place.

Of course at first it would require a ton of volunteer work and would be hard for people to get there to work on it being as spread out as the player base is.  The thought just hit me as to exactly how many historical treasures there are out there in this community.

I know it's something that would be far from reality and would never come to fruition most likely but never the less a novel idea IMHO.

Yup I had a buddy like this guy.  Sold a bunch of nazi uniforms flags and trinkets for money.  His grandfather got it all during the war and risked his life doing so.  I believe he got his second or third DUI with that money.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?
