Sold a large portion of my most valuable M:TG cards in 2016. Used the funds to pay for my wedding.
Yoda got to meet him with me that first time in 1994 -- we drove to Cleveland for our first Al concert when Yoda was ten (for his birthday). We had no idea that standing around the theater for an hour afterwards would work, but other folks were trying it too, so we hung around. It worked and they all came out and were VERY gracious. Yoda got to meet him with me one or two more times. Once we had Al's keyboardist in our car when we gave him a lift to his hotel in exchange for getting us in to meet Al!

Is there someplace to find them on a website? Is it a trick ????
And what did you think of good ol Mel????

As for Mel Brooks, that Blazing Saddles Q&A tour passed through my hometown -- at the old vaudeville theater where I used to work as a teen. I drove the 350 miles back home (in winter) to attend. My brother got regular tickets (through the radio station where he works), and we were just going to go to the Q&A, but I figured hey, Mel's 90 years old now. This is my one shot to meet him. So I upgraded to the VIP seats down front and got to meet him after the show.
The Q&A was great fun -- he sat on stage with an interviewer and also took questions from the audience. Man, that guy is nonstop energy! He's also very gracious with the photos. He threw his arms around me and kissed me on the cheek. I'm giggling in the photo.
Life is short. I'm upgrading everything from now on.
First edition set of tbd original Pokémon cards sold for $107k. Definitely should have held onto mine a lot longer. Hard to think something that easy to store costing so much.
