    Default Missed Opportuinities

    I had a friend offer me a box of old comics the other week. Told him I'd call him back after I made sure I had the space.

    Tried to reach him four times. Finally got through today. Too late though, he'd promised them to someone else.

    The box includes FF#1, 4, JLof A #7 and other assorted gems.

    GHAAAAAAA!

    How about you? Ever miss out on a chance like that?

    Hey, any kind of missed opportunity is fine. Although if I posted every missed opportunity with the ladies, I'd never get any work done.

    I could have sold that comic for thousands. Sigh.

    I didn't go to an estate auction with my mom and brother because I was tired. A Chagall drawing I knew was on sale there went for only $500 and there was no reserve. My mother almost bought it but she wasn't sure who Chagall was. D'oh.

    Typo Lad has me asking the pertinent question:

    Just curious. Did he know that?

    Same here, except the best part of you dribbled on the sheets.

    I once hit a flea market and bought several books from an old man who had a big box there. He then offered me the 200+ remaining 70's and 80's comics (lots of old Byrne FF , Early 80's Batman and Superman, bunch of Uncanny X-Men) for 50 bucks. I was hesitant and left...on the way home I thought...why not go back and offer $40 for the box.

    I came back and he done sold it. I kick myself for that.

    Yup. He wanted to give it to someone who (a) needed the money [he's kinda loaded] and (b) knew where to sell comics.

    Well, I'm not sure what role I would have had, but I missed out on a chance to be in Clockers.
    I failed Advanced Economics in high school in my senior year. (who has time for morning classes?) So I had to make it up in summer school, and that conflicted with the filming schedule. I wanted to graduate at that summer so I could go directly to college.

    I could be living a completely different life, if only I took schhol a little more seriously and passed economics, or took school less seriously and put off summer school to go back in the fall.

    I'm not sure what the lesson is here.
