Where'd the thousand came from? We had a contract; offer and acceptance. $250 for the tits. Let's rock.
(honestly, most of us could either go to the numerous adult themed websites, or view the breasts of our significant others rather than pay $250.... the moderator group, on the other...
Often times -- not just here, but in many facets of life -- it's easier to let someone fail then to tell them they're going to fail, and that they're wrong, and cause hostility between the parties. However, I completely agree with what you said above, and I believe that my statement in the line...
I don't care if you clear $5 or $500. Like numerous people, I don't care for you in the least. That's why I didn't come out and say "I hate your guts I'm not giving you a dime I hope Andrew kicks your breaking butt HUR HUR HUR". I simply asked a harmless question -- who profits, Chris, or...

FWIW, sadly, both are failed Phillies prospects. Moose Mattair is a 3b in the Reds system, in AA, but as they say, not getting any younger. Savery is a reliever in the Phils organization bouncing between the majors and AAA, with a his hottest streak 2-3 years ago when he was actually hitting...
You must think all lawyers are stupid. They're not. That's why they're racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees in all of your Panini battles.
Would you like to bet the standard Brian Gray $2,000?
I got no more use for dis guy.
Rize "signed a licensing deal with Leaf", or Rize is a subsidiary of Leaf, whichever you want to believe, but the higher priced Rize cards are autoed. They're not staying in business with the unsigned cardbage. There is no doubt a marketplace for unsigned Just/Rize/Topps Pro Debut base...
