Leon blew up his house to collect the insurance money to make a big pre-war type collection purchase.

Allegedly...

Same here but I live in East Plano (the poor side of town) and the explosion was in the Western part of Plano.

If it was the rich side of town it may have been for a new reality show - IHOP - Insane Housewives of Plano!

I believe Dudley Do-Right is your man.

Leon is the "Face of the Hobby", not Honus

The other day someone pointed me to a quiet hobby chat board that I had never heard of. I spent a few mins skimming some of the posts and before too long it gets reduced to attacks towards this board and I think some of the members. Lots of inside jokes, I think, that I took to be mean spirited. Even saw a thread that appears to be mocking this one. Must be some drama I am not aware of that was before my time.

I don't know of the board you speak of but if they are reading this I will pose a challenge to that board to have a pre-war card collection contest. We'll find 3 impartial judges and start posting our wares on the contest thread. We can wager $500 and the winner gets to donate the proceeds to the charity of their choice. I'll leave it up to the members to decide the judging rules.

Everyone there is a member here, although one I believe is still banned and a couple don't post any more.
