Completely forgot about that site...

Thanks Deacon. I've got the one without poster.

Sorry, I was going by the reference material I had, which all said that first state was original Butcher sleeve, second state was pasted over, and third state was pasted and peeled.

Hence my confusion.

"Excuse me, but I don't think you're a Beatles collector, are you?"

Never said I was.

Oh, we've got some ol' VeeJay 45s laying around, and Capitol and Apple. Nuthin fancy, just old and worn.

Wish I'd have been fortunate enough to have my old man stumble upon that album and have the foresight to not open and play it. Or it was open. The posts kinda contradict, or I just don't understand. That wouldn't be the first time.

Then again, perhaps it's the 'doubting Thomas' created from reading numerous posts with a large percentage fraught with exagerations, inaccuracies or out-and-out B.S.

'Hyperbole', indeed.

On to the NOTW clock...Martin, you're not referring to one of those simple 12 inch x 12 inch ones that have shown up on eBay, are you? With a different LP cover 'clock' showing up every other week?

Well....if the promo clock did go for fifty pounds a while back....'oh well (sigh)'. Still, mine didn't go for an extreme amount. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. Never thought I'd see one, much less own one. Came across the 'Astounding Science Fiction' magazine with the Freas robot on the cover just recently by pure accident. I may have spent more than I should have. Or maybe I didn't. A hard thing to judge. Then again, I might never come across it again (though I did see it on eBay the following week ?!?!). All of that is what makes it 'special'.

I'd double the value of your Q collection, and then double it again on account of the website.

Joe, looking back at my post, I'm now not sure if it was the NOTW clock or the mirror which went for 50 pounds... these things are not interesting to me so I'm not paying attention to them much.

Seems like some people like to take offence to little things like a wrapped or unwrapped Butcher Cover LP---
It's NOT wrapped, "jgoodm". I was stating the worth of a SEALED copy where obviously mine is not.
The appraisal of the collections (Beatles and Queen) was done by professionals, people who have been in that business a long time. The same people appraise them every year for the rider on my homeowners' policy, and the worth is also based on replacement value in addition to what the item is actually worth.
Promotional items, vinyl, anything of original issue is worth absolutely nothing once a fire, flood, earthquake, tornado or hurricane gets at it. That is why my collections are worth so much IN VALUE. I don't really give a flying **** about the dollar value, to me they are priceless and rarer than the Hope diamond.
Maybe this will clear up any confusion, maybe not. Keep in mind serious collectors do like to crow about what they have and what it's worth from time to time. Just don't take any offence to the fact -- okay???

Lisa -

Tell us about how you worked with Richard and tracked down Ted and brought him to justice ...

or about why Haole is still banned ...

I can't recall any of the other whoppers you told at Breakthru 2003...

"Whoppers", dear?
It was classified info I SHOULDN'T have told anyone but did. (Couldn't believe you could actually hear me above all the noise in that ballroom -- amazing!)
· Member since
Classified? or do you mean certified?

We heard you, as most of the discussion took place outside the ballroom.

Your stories about Ted and Jake seemed plausable (which I can't remember - Did you you get them both arrested child sexual abuse?). I woke up when you mentioned whoppers from Haole

Who in the heck is Haole?
And frankly I don't remember everything I said regarding the sex offender, it's old news, it's past and forgotten by now!
I don't especially like your attitude about the whole thing either. If you want to talk about it offlist, fine. Things like this don't belong on this thread, which was about RECORD COLLECTING...remember??

Oh I'm sorry - I thought it was about hyperbole and exaggeration and butcherblocks ...

I have no interest in speaking with you
directly as I believe you to be a pathological liar (a belief initiated at Breakthru and further cemented over time). I felt I had to chime in after viewing this thread, and your altercations with the Breakthru committee to give an another perspective of your bizarre behavior.

Well alrighty then! Your belief is your belief. If my Queen collection offends you, alas others have ones that are worth far more than mine in market value, but that's water under the bridge. I admire people who collect with collections' sake in mind and don't mind sharing what's in their collections and keep the band alive.
As for you thinking I am a pathological liar, that's a pretty serious accusation on a public message board. I have no problems with the Breakthru committee; maybe you do and you're just being shy admitting it. And it does not have anything at all to do with the subject matter in this thread!
I stand up for what I believe in and that's Queen and what they stand for. Shame on you for damning a fellow member of this group for being loyal to them!

"I stand up for what I believe in and that's Queen and what they stand for. Shame on you for damning a fellow member of this group for being loyal to them!"

No, he's commenting on you being dishonest. You may be loyal to the band, but you are not being loyal to their fans.

A fan since '73 because you have the '75 reissue? Meeting the band at the HOF when those who had worked with VH1 on the 'Legends' special such as Joe Demelio couldn't get the chance?

Your past casts doubts on every post you make. It's like reading Sylv Livingstone's encounters.

There were two 'bad apples' on that Breakthru list who used aliases. Wm K Mahler was one, and you were the other. You used the alias to puff yourself up. All of us who knew bit our tongues on the list. When people started to question your collectibles on this thread, you reassumed that alias on this board.

That's when we'd had enough.

When that was pointed out to you on the convention thread, you had the nerve to use that alias and be dishonest to myself, iron eagle, and my wife (mmemercury)....knowing it was my wife you were responding to with your alias. How that person even knew my wife was making the 'connection' was totally amazing, don't you think? And then you had the audicity to mock HER !!! And then you did so again as 'yourself.

A reminder: people on other lists read this board, too.

How dare you!!! For being dishonest with those on this board, on gardenlodge, on Breakthru, with me, with Paul, and don't get me started on your comments to Susan.

So, 'shame on you for damning fellow members of this group' with your dishonesty.

Joe and Susan+
