    I dont even see the signature. The only word I can make out is "majesty."

    Ok, that was the best $210 you've ever spent.

    Did the pack feel "special?"

    BAM BAM BAM

    Oh yeah, about time!!!! AWESOME!



  • << <i>I dont even see the signature. The only word I can make out is "majesty." >>



    I was thinking the same thing, but seriously - I reallly wouldn't care image Great pull Nick ! We wished it on you.

    I'm sure wishing people "cut-luck" will be standard practice from now on and THERE is why I can't let wax sit sealed in the house.

    In 8 years of heritage/Ginter ripping here, we have our first cut.. WOW
  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,579 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think the middle sentence says "Master General of"
  • brendanb438brendanb438 Posts: 1,595 ✭✭✭
    Nice hit, I don't see his sig in that at all either.
  • BunchOBullBunchOBull Posts: 6,188 ✭✭✭
    This sig next to a George Washington cut sig...that'd be a heck of a thing.
    Collector of most things Frank Thomas. www.BigHurtHOF.com
  • mealewormmealeworm Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭
    You don't see the sig??? Just get a sharpie and put one there.
    How does it feel. I would have dropped it atleast twice by now.

    Nick,

    I'm at a company dinner right now in SF and I want to tell people about a friend's great pull, but I'm afraid it might be taken the wrong way. I'm very happy as an Anglophile that a member of our community got this. Well done, again.

    Thanks for the kind words Geordie and Whammy. Except for this one time when I was 13 and watching Chrissy from Three's Company in a tight top, this was my most exciting pull ever.
  • Hey Nick, I'm a little behind on this great pull. Did you find this in a blaster? By the way, congrats. That's really exciting. image
  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,579 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yes Chris. It was in my blaster case.
