Collector Showdown......
tuneup

Alright...so here's the thing... A friend of mine is a television head, and now has his own HDTV channel launching here in T.O. Actually it has already launched and is doing fairly well so far. He is a large scale record collector himself (mostly of the King label) and has started a program that he has asked me to let you all know about. Essentially, this show "Collector Showdown" is as follows. Two heads with specific knowledge in a field go head to head in a competition to prove that they know far more than their opposition. So far they have filmed a comic book showdown, where a Marvel and DC guy went head to head, and each were asked 10 high level questions pertaining to their field. The competitor who gave the most correct answers won, and was then treated to a $1000 dollar spending spree at a comic convention. They then had I believe 5 minutes to spend the entire amount. They have also done a few other areas of collecting, but what areas I forget at the moment. Soooooooooooo.....at this point obviously he is looking to do one with the record collector crew. He has asked that i bring this to the table with you crew to see if anyone might be interested in taking part. It does not matter where you are located, as they will consider anyone initially if there area of speciality is intriguing. So i don't care if you do Reggae (Kev I'm looking at you), Soul, K-tel, Cheescake covers, Hip-Hop, Polka, straight edge punk.....you get it!!! If you are interested, PM me and let me know. Again, this is not my project, as i am just helping out a friend. I will pass on the info to my friend and you can all take it from there. Hope some of you are interested. Cheers,Aaron

So ya'll needs to step the fuck off.
This is an indescribably good look!
The rest of the thread should be devoted to coming up with fantasy matchups...
This is a typo, right?! I have enough trouble spending $200 at a record show...let alone $1000 in only five minutes. That's physically impossible!
Dante vs Trouble
young_phonics vs. aaronbobo

faux_rillz vs jonny_paychecks
"Question: When is it acceptable to not snipe an associate's auction bid?"
"NEVER!"
OK. But how do we have to spend this money at the record show?
For example, can I spend the $1000 paying some thugs to come in and rough up a few record dorks?
I foresee both contestants having trouble maintaining focus... it would too quickly spill over into a contest of all things "lifestyle"-related.
I hope you mean this on some "two VERY knowledgable cats" steez.
No Doubt.
Don't mess with Boston!
Honestly...no way...I realize Rock would SON me on the psych knowledge...
K.
If not available, has anyone torrent'd it?
and it's about knowledge not possesion??? You'd think a collectors showdown would be who had the iller shit....
Suuurious. Actually it should have events to crown the ultimate collectro. Knowledge dropping & Ill-shit-having.....you know, some way to level the playing field for rich ballers and smart poor dudes.
Phill Vs. Supreme
Big Chan Vs. Aser
