We were at the Gary Con auction last night and Sudo Dragon, looking at the collection of Acaeum regulars gathered about said:

"It's like a group of Bond villains."

Visiting with Stratochamp this afternoon we thought, much like S.P.E.C.T.R.E. we needed an acronym.

Axis of Collectors Against Extremely Undervalued Merchandise.

Anyway it was great seeing you all. I'm on my way back to my Arctic Fortress of Villainy.

Best,

Jim

Ah yes, there are the Burntwire Brothers, having traveled from their Indiana bunker.
There is Melnibonean, away from his fortress of Solitude.
There is Bracton petting his white cat.
There is stratochamp, who has 100 identically dressed henchmen rappelling down from the ceiling.
and there is Boredflak, letting out a hearty muahaha while his fingers steeple.

Meanwhile Blackmoor, from his secret Mumbai base, is launching his secret weapon that will disintegrate all shrinkwrap in the U.S.


Shrink is not a condition

It's a good thing you used the word "cat".  Otherwise, that would be strike two.

I was in the front row.  Bid on some items but there was a lot of crazy going on.  But then again it was for charity :). Couple of pics from the auction.
