Exactly what I was thinking. We can't talk about the scandal, but I can tell you we use only the finest shag carpets with our displays. That's helpful.

I hear certain lawyers will only walk on the most plush carpet. When I heard there were only hundreds of cards altered I thought of the shark tank Mr. Wonderful saying....when a business is a dud "Your business will make you HUNDREDS of dollars......but it's not worth investing in, I am out!!"

The few times I walked by the PWCC booth there weren't too many people at it.

Now that would have been entertaining -- the Wizard of Oswego trying to convince the Shark Tank folks to invest in his notes or vault or whatever.

That would've been a GREAT episode. It will never happen now, but I bet with Brentsy's charm, good looks, communication skills and flair for hyperbole, they might have swayed a Shark or two. Can't you envision them proudly standing in front of the Sharks in their spiffy black polo shirts and PWCC logos? Utilizing flip-charts to demonstrate the recent escalation of prices and the endless investment potential.

Would've been fascinating, and even cooler to see Mr. Wonderful tear into Brent's "vision".... "I like the Vault idea, but tell me how you arrived at these Tenets". And where are all these recently graded MINT cards coming from? And how many more are there?

Too bad they are now more likely to be cast in a starring role of American Greed.

Do you think he has a job when he gets back to work on Monday morning?

I can only assume he received a very stern and terse speaking to on Thursday night. I wonder if he is even still at the show or was he given tickets tot he Cubs game and wont be seen until its time to tear down the booth.

I'm assuming this policy of not being recorded is on advice of counsel as, prior to Jeff's involvement, they ran their mouths quite a bit.

Depending on if Chicago is a one or two party consent place you could just record them without them knowing.

I would agree Jeffrey more than likely told them to STFU you morons.

Since he was basically saying that before they paid him I'll go out on a limb and say I'm 99% certain lol.

What a place to have reached in life, where you can't even talk for fear of making your legal predicament worse. Was it worth it, Brent?

I think it's two party. Isn't the building also private property?

As far as I am aware, I'm pretty sure it is 2 party as well. The ownership I think would be more interesting since I believe it is owned by the village of Rosemont.

Illinois is 2-party and DESCC is a municipal building. Editing now because I just saw the portion of the video with the claim about private property. She is within her IL rights to demand an end to the recording of her person, but I find it unlikely the same goes for the inanimate display booth. Do you concur?

I'd also like to see the same type of video journalism at the PSA Booth and see watch kind of rhetoric spews out of mouths of the principals at PSA. My guess is that they will, like PWCC, scamper for cover at the sight of a video camera.

By the way, does PSA still host Registry Luncheons at the National? When they did years back, there was a Q & A time. I'd be very surprised if PSA would give the public that same opportunity today.
