With Friends Like These, Who Needs Tiffany’s?

Almost exactly 20 years ago at University of Missouri-Columbia, I attended Professor Johnson’s Econ 101 lecture, “Why The Ticket Scalper Is Your Best Friend.”
Now that Games 3 and 4 of the World Series here in Colorado are sold out, we’ll find out if that’s still true.
Perhaps Econ 51?
As a transfer student, I unfortunately didn’t get to experience Wally teach Econ 51 in Middlebush Aud. But he was my advisor, and I had him for Econ 329 one summer.
He’s missed, was right about much, and certainly understood the role of scalpers.
