Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I recently won (paid through the nose) this on ebay and am curious if any of my fine feathered collector friends have seen other unopened Foto Fun packs and/or this promo that was on the side of it. I think it's very interesting...<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1155144918.JPG"> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1155145184.JPG">

Posted By: <b>david</b><p>i think you underpaid actually. i dont know how i missed it but i think you got a great deal on the item. it is in amazing condition and these cards are very hard to find, never mind an unopened one. i follow the self developing photo issues closely and my best guess is there are probably a handful of others out there but this is the first one i have ever seen and have not seen any others sold publicly that i can recall.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Sorry about that...all is fair in love and sniper warfare <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>. I understand a few folks thought they would have a little easier time of it with a lot of us being at the National. This was one I emailed the seller on before I left.... regards<br /><br />ps....I just look kinda dumb....I won't be opening it....

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>No sweat, Leon - just busting your chops. <br /><br />I'm sitting home during the show, and I saw that item listed, and thought "Oh, cool - everyone's at the show, I should be able to get that baby for a decent price. This is my reward for not going to the National."<br /><br />But I set what I thought was a ridiculous snipe anyway. Sorry to run you up so high. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>I suppose asking nicely like - "please Leon, open it..." <br /><br />I promise I wont call you a moron for doing so... now I can't speak for others but I promise I wouldn't say it to your face... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>thanks....You can sure count on friends that won't say how moronic you are ..to your face.... <br /><br />It is interesting to think about the "what if" of opening it? Like, could I get 1/100th of a percent of the media the Fake Wagner on ebay is getting. Could I get the media involved and have them show me opening the pack...and, my luck, all there is is a blank piece of paper <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>. Kind of like the Geraldo Rivera debacle many years ago. National television and, after hours of watching, nadda. Interesting thought..(not one I would ever seriously entertain, of course)...<br /><br />edited to add pic of regular one already opened with negative<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1155178345.JPG">
