[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2975426, member: 36230"]And I fear this is just another example of what you described. Two days and counting without even a peep... I can respect the desire to be the forum "variety guy", but just like the other member who had a bad habit of stealing DLRC photos, running them through photoshop autocorrect, and claiming different holders before trying to pass them off as newps all in order to look the "expert" big shot collector, this nonsense does more harm than good imo.
