I once bought maybe 5 or 6 crates of disco singles from this dude. Every week I'd stop by his place and he'd sell me a crate. He told me that he used to stash $100 bills in his records so that his brother couldn't find them. I went through every sleeve and never found anything. I think dude was fucking with me.
Went to Dunk N Donuts this morning. Total was $4.50. I handed him a 20 and got 20 back!
you didn't give that money back, Raj? That's just plain evil.
Yeah man that is shady. I never would take money like that. If I found it on the street that's a different story... that Dunkin dude might get fired behind that.
Phill I was down in Philly today scoping homes, holmes... :schittcooketh:
We shall see. My fiance and I are just starting to look at buying something and New York prices are scaring us clear out of town. 1-br condo in Williamsburg for $600k NO THANK YOU
Four years ago I bought a set of Mozart's Letters as well as John Burroughs' book on Walt Whitman (the first book on Whitman ever published -this was the early 1870s) from an on-line auction house in Cleveland called ewolf. I found two grand in the Mozart set and the book on Walt Whitman was signed by him under his frontispiece picture.
a local shop here in chicago found $4300 in an ella fitzgerald sleeve recently.
how does one fit that kinda cash in a record sleeve????
I never found $, but I did pull an awesome letter dated from 1957 out of a great Italian crooner lp. The letter was from one very Italian woman in florida writing to her cousin in Brooklyn. She talked among other endless gossip about having to go to court (again) to testify about this or that and what a nusance it was. had me laughing out loud. straight sopranos business.
i last found some quite nasty photos of pretty unattractive jamaican women in compromising poses in some reggae lp's. they were quite disturbing to be honest and were discarded.
i did find a recipe for carrot cake which was hand-illustrated in a Family of Percussion record once. i believe it is still there. i should use it.
oh and pulled a bag of weed out of a record sleeve once and informed the record dealer who's place i was at about it and he thanked me profusely. "BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT!"
oh yes... also once found a gun hidden under a stack of records in a basement of a shop. the owner assured me it was only a stun gun. "FOR THA RATS!!!! YOU kNOW?"" i didn't press the matter.

Once when crossing back into the states from Canada I hid a couple of hits of acid in a sleeve. My friend bugged out though and I had to toss them out the window. That is all.

I too once found a bag of weed in a record. It was crushed flat in a gatefold and looked quite old but we smoked it anyhow.

That was a good day.
Whole Nutha Level.
I found a $100 in a first english edition of Jules Verne's "The Children of Captain Grant" which is also singed by Gen. Abner Doubleday but I remember someone told me his signature isnt really worth anything, which in restrospect I find hard to believe because baseball stuff goes for such high $$$ and he was the "founder" of baseball.

She likes Philly a lot.
Not to dissuade you from Philly but my wife and I just put money down on a 2 bedroom co-op in Kensington (a block from Prospect Park), 1400 s/f for $325,000 + $425 maintenance monthly. We looked at listings on and off for 2 1/2 years though.

Whichever Plastikman LP with the insert done up like a sheet of Acid got someone arrested for a little while making a similar cross border crossing, although it could have been across state lines.
