Writes Ben Schwartz,
The Pacific League Championship belt of Classy Freddie Blassie is now up for auction on E-Bay. The owner wants at least $10,000.00 for a Buy It Now sale, but a shrewd bidder may be able to walk off with it for only the $9,999.00 minimum and save that all important dollar for some tarn-x to polish it up. I’d like to propose a CSTB time-sharing bid in which anyone who wants to join me can split wearing the belt year round. I’d like to be able to wear it during the holidays, but that’s not a deal breaker.
ben, that is a capital idea. i’ll chip in 27.40 if i can wear it each year on my birthday. you know what? i’ll put in $75.00 and make a 3 day weekend out of it. let me know where i can paypal the funds.
alright, i’m in for $27.40 (if that’s the share price). i’d like to wear it to the one Newark Bears game I go to each year, and I’ll happily pass it off to another shareholder there if that can be worked out, as I’d rather pay the Gen. Admission ticket price for the other shareholder than have to ship and insure that one.
10,000/365 = 27.39726027
