    You have a bad case of good taste. Go buy two more, post images of them, and go from there. :)

    They are great artistic medals.

    I was going to post the usual 12-step program, but it contains many references to a higher power and I don't feel like getting a dozen disagrees and flags today.

    Yes, you may have a problem, but you'll find little sympathy or even a desire to help you change in this group. You might even say that change is the very essence of our problem. ;)

    Oh, BTW, nice piece!

    Interesting, Looks like there's another digit punched in the top left of that panel.
