Wow. Didn't know that slang term...

 

Amazingly, Byrne-Steal is in Urban Dictionary... (Although Byrne-Read isn't. You might want to start that entry.)

 

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Byrne-steal

 

verb: from comic fandom, to read a comic in the shop without any intention of buying said comic. Originates from comic writer/artist John Byrne, who alleged that doing so was "stealing"

 

"I only Byrne-stole the latest issue of Btaman, so I can't remember all the details properly"

 

Urban Dictionary is user-generated content. i could make up a ShinKaoSteal, which would be defined as "buying 9.8 slabbed copies of hot Copper Age books from a hoarder at below FMV" and post it...et voila
