It’s been a minute since my last post, and my only excuse is that a lot of behind-the-scenes BSC business has been going down on top of the day-to-day operation.

Might still be semi-interesting though, because while going through them being reminded of them, I was thinking about the why behind the purchases. A lot of it is rather inexpensive and oddball, but I found that I was still rather aware at why I pulled the trigger on the items at the time. Also nice mini-surprises like seeing on one of my Dave Lapham (from Harbinger-lovely pre-Unity) pages, a sketch included that I hadn’t noticed before–stuff like that. It’s not blow your mind shit, but more exposing odd thought processes that make us pull the trigger on auctions. For this post though, I have an example of one of the aspects I touched on in Variety, Trade, or Death (or No Hooks, Chum).
