Cool...thanks for the plug.

[FrankWakefield]

I'll bid $3. If I win, don't mail it just yet. I'll ask Barry to sign his article, and if he will I'll send him a SASE and you can mail it to him!

[barrysloate]

Even cooler! It would be my pleasure.

[Jaybird]

Very cool. A celebrity signing!

I'd like the issue but don't want to step in the middle of this. If anyone has an extra copy, let me know.

Thanks,

Jason

[FrankWakefield]

Glyn, if Barry is willing to sign it, then I'll raise my $3 bid to $4. And if this goes much higher, you gotta start thinking about cutting Barry in for a percentage!!

[Rob D.]

$4

Thanks.

[gnaz01]

Man, just for giggles I went back to my copy and am re-reading Dennis's article about Alan Hager and "Fartrillionization" and LMAO

[barrysloate]

Frank- I'll donate my share to charity.

[tiger8mush]

$5.

An authentic Barry Sloate autograph has got to be worth that alone!

Barry, just don't write anything lame, people are going to be reading that for the next 20 years

[barrysloate]

I'm working on it!

My pal, Glyn: this was in that massive lot you told me about? lol, talk about price-less! This is my favorite issue ever for many reasons!

I will say that these magazines are hard to find and they are great in every way! I'm looking forward to seeing the final price on this! Could we set a publication record of some type??????

BTW, I've been cruising Grand-Slam bids and having a BLAST!
Anyone else use it thus far?
I love it and recommend it!
Regards,
Bill Hedin

ps: good luck on this auction~~~~~~~

Bill Im still looking for my material on Boston garters that you asked about. All i can tell you is they are rare and beautiful and for some reason the last ones issued mostly seem to have had some sort of restoration done, often painted or recolored in some area. Must have been a find at some point that went thru one of the card doctors hands.

[canjond]

Ill go $6

[glynparson]

Let me know if I'm sending it to you or Barry first to have him sign it. I hope you enjoy the articles as much as i did. Let me know how you'd like to pay and where you'd like it sent. A special thanks to Barry for his offer to sign his article.

[barrysloate]

Sure Glyn, no problem. Let me know if you need my address (of course Jon may or may not want it signed).
