    Yeah, I was "collecting" for a couple of years before the Big Show, and I was glad I had, when I saw what prices did in 2021. I looked at a few price structures this year and I was glad that I don't...

    lol

    Now he says he doesn't have much sympathy for them, when he called me a "problem creator" for disrespecting the deaths of pyro technicians a couple of pages back. I see people making fun of...
