Thanks everyone, i.e., Greg D., Tom, Claude, Phil, Franc, et. al. for making me laugh before I turn in. Please ponder the exchange below that appears in James L. Brooks' "Broadcast News" (1987). It captures how some people feel about the late Noel Schiff and our Ambulance-Chasing-A-Hole-RodXMorgan-who-peddles-Mexican-paper-from-atop-a-flea-ridden-burro...
[News manager Paul Moore, after firing one of his staffers...] Paul Moore (with sincerity): "Now, if there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to let me know..." Employee: "Well...(pause)...I certainly hope you'll die soon." Now I'm not saying that's what I want to happen to the "other guy" in this "twin-bill" of tobacco-chomping characters, but draw your own conclusions. -d.

Noel Dean Schiff passed away approximately 3-4 years ago. I spoke to him once after seeing his ad in MCW. I never called him again as he was miserable to speak to.

I've dealt with pompous, egotistical jerks, crooks, and dismissive windbags, but no one matched the jaw-dropping rudeness and abrasiveness of Schiff. It was as if he had a sociopathic need to be disliked by every person he did business with. It takes a lot to piss me off...I have a very long fuse...but after one transaction with him, I was ready to bitch-slap him upside his cadaverous, pale, sucked-up face. He was the Phil Spector of poster collecting. He won't be missed.

A dealer who I haven't seen in a long time ---- maybe he's not around anymore --- told me this same thing the very first time I went to a Columbus show. I felt very intimidated, until virtually every other dealer I met at the show told me to ignore him because he was an A**hole.
