That's some next-level obscure trivia right there!

I used to be one of those guys. Still in the process of storing them by set. It really is daunting. Six more sets to go...

If anyone ever visits Pittsburgh, we can find out if that town has a custom too.

Agreed, by set is the only logical method.

I have tried by (my) primary keyword and I could never find the fig I wanted and then had to drag most of my collection around for casual days when I would play 4 matches with 4 different teams.

I thought you and Bud usually came to town for Anthrocon.

Oh! I might go. I am not sure. I am going to the MTG prerelease that morning and I am not sure whether or not I want to spend the $20 for parking and $30 or whatever for admission. If parking was not so much this would not be a consideration and I would definitely be going.

For storage purposes I miss the old bases and flight stands. It was so much easier to store sets in those days.
The larger bases and even larger sculpts may be easier and prettier (respectively), but they're a bear to store, especially with the growing number of figures per set.
The worst part of the old way was variant sculpts on flyers. I think the worst offender was Halo from Origin.
She had this colored energy aura, but every experience level had a different color aura...yellow, blue, or red. Unfortunately, the sculpts' colors didn't match to the dial rings' colors. That would have been too easy. I can't even remember which went with which. It was either blue on yellow, red on blue, and yellow on red or red on yellow, yellow on blue, and blue on red.
I hate Halo.

Can't your mom drop you off and pick you up?

she's busy

That is BOGO BJ day down at the dock, she and Bud will be busy all day.

Those are assumed costs, already accounted for so they aren't taking away from my spending cash.

Looks like the last out was caught in the 9th inning for Yogi Berra. Lived to be 90 years old. Married for 65 of them. Very impressive person and life.

And from what Bud tells me, a generous lover.

Yogi was one of the greats.

That's some next-level sports celebrity tribute-giving right there!
