Re: Doyle\'s \"Casper\"

I can't believe Lederer paid $3500 for that thing

Hmm lets see...
First of all if Doyle died today, Howard could resell the thing for 10K + if he really wanted to.
Secondly he is purchasing a piece of poker history, a game which has yielded him millions of dollars in profit, this is nowhere near as bad as dropping 500$ on a F'ing beanie baby.
Thirdly, perhaps he wanted to retain an item that belonged to one of his mentors. A man that he clearly respects and has a friendship with outside of poker.
To think that this is a silly purchase is just ridiculous.
PS - its obviously a ghostbuster image, do you think no one has ever pointed this out at a poker table??? Doyle probably knew it already anyway. He is a badass and knows he can call the thing whatever the hell he wants.
