    So this post marks my 10,000 post here on CT and I figured I would show a Aquilia Severa upgrade I got a few weeks ago.

    I had one prior, but it was more of a slot filler, so it ended up getting traded off for a bunch of other ancients & world moderns and I acquired this new one at a very reasonable price.

    WOW, Mat! Great milestone... Thanks for all your coin posts and comments. Learned a lot from you. And, perfect that you post an Empress upgrade for a DEAL! Congrats! I am staying away from Empresses now (continuing my playing in the BC RR -and others- side of the pool...), but will pick your brain when I start targeting the Empresses...in the far future...

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Was told via a dealer on another board that the "Star in Right Field" is scarcer than "left field", which my old one was.

    Never paid much attention but cool.:cool:

    I've been stalking Steve's avatar and it has become a bit of a compulsion. I don't catch them all, but so far I've amassed 208 of them via right-click-save :oops:. Perhaps I shouldn't have admitted this :D

    Whenever I am going through my Grandkids photos and liking them and saving them in my Daughters' Facebook profiles, they accuse me of being a "Creeper"! :) Looks like I am not the only one! :D

    He's got a Brady Bunch now. I asked him about it, still waiting for his signature remark. Guy is nuts, needs to be one in every crowd, keeps it lively.
