Cliff Claven's Dad: "I'm going to move to Australia as my job has gotten me into a bit of conflict with the local law enforcement."
Cliff Claven: "Oh, what line of work are you in?"
Cliff's Dad: "Real estate fraud."

I also recall David Letterman's advice how to become wealthy: "Ask Dan Quayle for two dimes for a nickel. Repeat until rich."

A neighbor of parents became rich when he invented Warfarin, a drug which is used both as a human blood medicine and a rat poison.

Buying pot isn't a great long term investment. But it has its perks

blow a bowl in you'se guys honor. I actually figured that would elicit such a response and decided to take the initial "high" out of the title. But then that would be something akin to smoking "Pot Lite". It's obviously too late to save me but save yourselves.... Just say no.

Barry, I didn't win anything in the Mastro Auction so I wasn't required to give a history of my personal finances.

Though it is true that my parents' neighbor got rich from inventing a heart drug/rat poison. The curious history of the drug, warfarin, is it was originally successfully marketed as a pesticide. Then a man tried to commit suicide by eating the rat poison and fully recovered. This was when they realized the drug might be useful on humans, and developed it into a billion dollar human medicine.

I don't think it matters. If you're a millionaire and have a huge expansive collection or a thousandaire like myself with a modest small collection, it's all the same. If you truly love baseball, cards, the history and appreciate those with whom you share the hobby, it doesn't matter if you win at Mastro or not.

History

The early 1920s saw the outbreak of a previously unrecognized disease of cattle in the northern United States and Canada. Cattle would die of uncontrollable bleeding from very minor injuries, or sometimes drop dead of internal hemorrhage with no external signs of injury. In 1921, Frank Schofield, a Canadian veterinarian, determined that the cattle were ingesting moldy silage made from sweet clover that functioned as a potent anticoagulant.[12] In 1929, North Dakota veterinarian Dr L.M. Roderick demonstrated that the condition was due to a lack of functioning prothrombin.[13]

The identity of the anticoagulant substance in moldy sweet clover remained a mystery until 1940 when Karl Paul Link and his student Harold Campbell, chemists working at the University of Wisconsin, determined that it was the coumarin derivative 4-hydroxycoumarin.[14] Over the next few years, numerous similar chemicals were found to have the same anticoagulant properties. The first of these to be widely commericialized was dicoumarol, patented in 1941. Link continued working on developing more potent coumarin-based anticoagulants for use as rodent poisons, resulting in warfarin in 1948. (The name warfarin stems from the acronym WARF, for Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation + the ending -arin indicating its link with coumarin.) Warfarin was first registered for use as a rodenticide in the US in 1952; although it was developed by Link, the WARF financially supported the research and was granted the patent.

The exact mechanism of action remained unknown until it was demonstrated, in 1978, that warfarin inhibited epoxide reductase and hence interfered with vitamin K metabolism.[2]

After an incident in 1951, where a naval enlisted man unsuccessfully attempted suicide with warfarin and recovered fully, studies began in the use of warfarin as a therapeutic anticoagulant. It was found to be generally superior to dicoumarol, and in 1954 was approved for medical use in humans. A famous early patient prescribed warfarin was Dwight Eisenhower, president of the USA, subsequent to his heart attack in 1955.
