Now then, lot 098, a framed print found among the possessions of a young woman who vanished

from her apartment late last autumn.

She called it a portrait, though the file name read only dean.jp.g.

If you look closely, no, not too close. I'll name read only Dean.jp.G.

Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.

These are some of the members of the inner circle of the antiquarium.

We go by the Obsidian Covenant. Recent initiates include Oni Pole, Lord Nevermore, David Loveless, Murdy Birdie, Rebecca, Ali is watching, Lexi and Charondah Waters.

We are ever appreciative of your devotion to the order.

Go to the Obsidiancovenant.com to receive the sacrament.

Now, where were we?
