Al, Thanks for digging that out...you nailed that one....Those price guides always seem soft so that's a good thing. I emailed the honorable Mark Macrea and he didn't recall it so I knew for sure when Mark hadn't seen it it was rare. That Blast'um Bombers is great...This pinback has opened up another world for me...I've tradionally been into bigger stuff...posters, signs, statues etc.

Andy, thanks for posting another example...It doesn't get any earlier than before they got there...I like it when the date is right on something...a trophy, a poster, a pinback or what ever...it's huge.
