    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    I went to the 626 viewing last night in Sullivan, IL. Not only is the run legit, but the commentary is dramatic, funny, and inspiring. This is the defining accomplishment of John's career. I totally understand why he is capitalizing on it with an entertaining and lucrative road show, rather...

    Who is She Wolf?

    Clif was a great guy and very knowledgeable about everything he collected. I just saw him in Vegas 3 weeks ago, and he seemed fine. He reminded me of the time we both dodged a bullet in Tulsa a couple years ago. A cop about 10 meters from us accidentally discharged his gun in our direction...
