I recall a conversation I overheard while perusing a game store the last time I was in Anchorage.

Some guys were talking about a local fellow who had bought a house (in cash) with the money he made by selling his collection of Magic cards. I was skeptical, but the teller of the story seemed sincere, and the clerk verified the story.

Well, I met the fellow. His name is Tom and he now lives in North Pole just down the road from me. You can read a brief version of the story on his BGG profile here. Nice guy, hasn't played many modern German games, but he was over to play a couple games on Friday night. I think there is potential for me to turn him in to a boardgame snob in a relatively short period of time.

Wish me luck.
