Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>I got my Gibson statue today, beautiful!!!!!!! They did a great job with his likenes and the catching gear is fabulous. I hope more of you ordered them, there is a good chance they are sold out. Only 1,200 made.

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>I didn't even go to the Upper Deck booth, didn't think of it.<BR><BR>Regarding your comment on the Paige: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. My one peeve with some of the statues out there is that some companies didn't make an effort towards a true likeness. <BR><BR>Hats off to McFarlane though.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Got my Josh Gibson today. What an outstanding piece. I noticed in the catalogued that was included that the Gibson is no longer offered, but the Paige is, so Gibson may be sold out. The only thing I didn't like about the statue is that base is so large that it will not fit in any of the glass display cases I had for the Sports Impressions statues. Otherwise, a great sculp and great paint job.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>I received my statues today of Gibson and Paige. The Gibson is great and the Paige is better than I was expecting and the packaging was done very well. <BR><BR>I give 'em 4 out of 5 stars.
