Sherman or Pershing?
Wait, you don't know Connecticut blue-bloods are just Reptiloids in skin-suits and not people?!
Only a little bit. Bob was too ambitious with what he tried to pass down and acquired too much volume. This abundance is what translated the things he obtained to pass along to Chris into meaningless trinkets.
Had Bob stuck to just one or two items of significance per each thing he wished to pass along, I think Chris would have had an easier time understanding the intent. He also fucked up in keeping the pieces for Chris in with his own stash of hobby stuff. Had those things been kept some place separate, that would have also made them a separate thing in Chris' mind instead of just another part of da hoard.
I've mentioned in previous posts collecting comics. If I wanted to try to pass that down to someone else, I wouldn't leave those comics in amongst "my" comics. The ones I feel should be kept would be pulled aside and stored separately, there wouldn't be many of them, and there would be some supplemental information about the hobby along with a personalized letter explaining what they meant to me and why I would hope the person they were left for would take up the hobby for themselves.

Someone south of the Mason-Dixon line having a tank named after Sherman?

As if Chris knows who Sherman is. Other than Mr. Peabody's human slave/ pet.

Chris's ebay sales so far this year:
Plus $54.98 so far for November. https://sonichu.com/cwcki/2018_Sales_Listings
That's a huge decrease starting in September. I guess he got distracted and didn't feel like playing salesperson anymore (maybe he was smoking weed with the Teen Troon Squad instead, and the merge talk started around October). In August, he had been active with listing new CWC-themed items and officially teamed up with Barb, but when September rolled around, he only listed one new item (Bob's stamp album), and October's listings were all Barb's.
His original plan was to sell them at cons, but he moved it to Ebay after being advised it was a bad idea.
They're among his best-selling items, though (44 sales, $699.71).

He actually had over 250 of those printed.1) Nigga printed more than 160 cards, not knowing if/when they'd be sold. Even if he sells 50 cards, the hoard will take in at least 100 unsold cards.

I think that's just the site not counting expired listings. The more expensive autographed cards far outsold the non-autographed ones.2) tfw your autograph actually makes cards sell LESS.
Including expired listings, his best selling item this year was the autographed photo (33 sales, $1,574.95). Sales on those were hot in July and August (the listings would sell out in about a week). He was making money hand over fist... and then got bored and shilled for Barb's blankets (2 sales to the same buyer, $300) instead.

His autographs seem to sell quite well, he proved that by selling a whole pack of autographed empty cans.
I think Chris might make some good cash if he were to ever run a stall at convention, all he would have to do is sit there and autograph whatever random garbage people brought him... he could bring his DS or whatever and it'd be just like when he used to sit in the mall with his attraction sign!
He even could charge $20 a pop, I think people at conventions would be willing to pay that.
But I'm pretty he already shut down an idea similar to this once, claiming that he wouldn't do it because that would mean missing out on the convention.

I think he wants to wander around cons and sell shit out of his backpack.

He could also just close his table for specific events he wants to attend, or only open it a couple hours each day. He can still have fun.

Yeah but getting a booth costs money. Which means forethought. Which we all know Chris is incapable of.

Adding that together, plus his patreon and a few $1000+ donations, Chris has made over $15k-$16k in profit this year, not counting the tugboat.
A wasted all of it.

Virginia minimum wage is 7.25. Chris made more money in donations this year than someone does working minimum wage 40 hours a week. And that's before tax deductions.

With his tugboat he'll clear $30k, twice the annual income of somebody working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Haha and Chris isn't even taxed. And he's still broke. Keep that in mind, paypigs.

Maybe I should just turn into a shitty autist. I'd make more money anyway.

Hm. When you factor in Federal, FICA and state taxes along with work expenses (travel, clothing, etc), Chris is roughly netting the exact same income as someone who works a job that pays $45k/year.
That's the starting salary of a CAD drafter.
Chris is literally making the same amount of money this year on donations/tugboat as he would if he had gotten a job with his degree.
No matter how you look at it, it's pretty astounding.
Maybe fatso was right about not needing a job.
His bullshit alone is profitable
