http://img520.imageshack.us/img52...But I won't lie. I could listen to Thor reminisce until I passed out from ear exhaustion.
Thor again with either Tim (Phins) or his brother, but probably Tim as his brother seemed... less interested.

http://img526.imageshack.us/img52...Dain's rarity is in my hands... again.
http://img526.imageshack.us/img52...I'd have settled for just the one picture I took by myself but either burdger or PSerge was all "dude, you want a real picture" and took my camera let me rub both hands all over it. I forget who took the shot, but I think we 3 had just come in from wrecking our lungs or something. Incidentally Dain's rarity smells like an ash tray now, sorry Dain
. Actually, I think the first thing I said to Dain when I saw his table was, "yeah right you're selling this."

Shroomed talking to Dain and the rest of the crowd, from the POV of the Ditka Case.
http://img520.imageshack.us/img52...From the look of the far background, this might be just when Tall Guy set up. So around 11:00? He might even be selling his CDi! I think this is when I was shamelessly hanging out to be first in line. I later went for a smoke and wound up among the last 5 in line
Some sealed stuff from Brian's Toys. I'm sure someone else has posted this.

Time for Thor
http://img153.imageshack.us/img15...Incidentally, I think this was his worst score of the day. I was trying to get the score itself (not because it was the worst, I had no way of knowing). Because I thought it'd be a good photo. By the time my camera had reset someone else was playing.

http://img520.imageshack.us/img52...At about the time I took this picture we had a pretty serious conversation about sealed collecting and VGA. Everything was winding down. He asked if I wanted anything and I said no, being the cheap shit I am. He asked if I wanted a pamphlet or whatever, and I said no, because I was familiar with his site. And then we got into it. I'm not against VGA or sealed collecting or anything, by the by. I'm just not interested in it either. Not as a buyer, anyway. As an observer it's good fun

What the Ditka case looked like when I finally got to the front:

http://img527.imageshack.us/img52...mb##### (whatever I don't know the numbers stfu) is the reason I was scared I wouldn't get one. Shit did I even say one word to you?
Phins (I think) and punch out

It occurs to me now that I should have bought more WLoDs, to use for trade-ins at local shops. I'm sure I could have gotten more than 5$ trade value per game if I spread them out. At the time, I only thought "why would I want more than one". I guess this proves I'll never be a good businessman! (plus I really want to open a game soon to get another huff of delicious 1980's packing materials and I'd feel bad opening my only one). Last NES game I opened was XEXYZ back in ye olde 2001. I'm jonsin' over here.
OK threadjack finished!
