All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall?

I'm partial to the "disable live bidding" button; helps minimize costly accidents!

I'm so broke even this post is accidental - if not downright unaffordable.

It was worth every penny it cost you to post it. :)

I agree 100% with that disable live bidding move.  Watching those auctions in the past has resulted in my picking up books that were not really on my chase list to start with.   I have gotten much more disciplined now with bidding only on books I already have on my interest list and nothing more.    I have become boring in my old age...lol

Incredible collection @143ksk put together. (worship)

So true!  If the Berk collection was worthy of a label notation, I think his collection was as well.  Granted, we're not talking about GA superhero keys here, but this is by far the best collection of this type of material that will ever be assembled.
