A chance occurrence today resulted in one of my greatest finds ever, both personally and collection wise. I took a close up shot of the price tag before I peeled it off, because it such an unbelievable price. I had the afternoon off work because my wife and I had a couple appointments with our [...]

A: As you may have noticed, this blog is not called templeofdoom.org anymore. When my domain expired last month I ran into some blatantly obvious “copyright issues” regarding my choice of site and domain names.
