Nat, what a nice gift for your birthday & for Christmas! Just curious ... how many people do you think it would take to come up with that amount of money ?

 

[NHMickey]

I wish I could. That is one great set of pins.

HMMM - wonder if he'd notice the jump in our equity line balance............................

 

[Melodie]

Gee, I can't believe someone would obviously put so much into her collection and then want to part with it at all.

 

[Raulandpinboy]

Tell you what I'll get 1033418207 for you if you get 597717798 for me, so what say pal do we have a deal.

 

[NHMickey]

Let me think....


Thank you for the offer and while I did find it tempting I will have to pass at this time.

Nice car though.

Oh geeez.. Both Nat and Ed found out what I was going to give them for Christmas. Shoot.. now I guess it's back to plan A - a Hickory Farms Yard 'o Beef.

 

[JudithM]

Lauri, just saw some fruit cakes you could buy them if Hickory Farms is out of beef sticks!

 

[Raulandpinboy]

Yard o beef or fruitcake I don't know about you Nat, but I'll go for the fruit cake forget the car...

WOW fruitcake, think of the colors, and they have a shelf life of over 300 years. soooooo as for me fruit cake please.

Hey lauri I'm torn as what to get you for Christmas here are some choices

I'm a CSI nut t-shirt
Silly putty
A make your own pin kit
Biker punk Barbie doll
A trip to TDL after the pintrading stops
Or some of my granddaughters Christmas cookies, which can be used for self-defense, as ninja star projectiles.

Let me know what your leaning towards.

Nat, this piece was auctioned at this year's Disneyana Convention. My book says the estimate was $3500-4000. I don't have the actual selling price handy but I'm sure one of my fellow convetionears has it. Judy Sue? Cheshire Figment? There were two others similar to it made and sold during the Limited Edition Lottery. One for DCA and one for DL. These were priced at $1800. All three are one-of-a-kinds and the artist is Dave Avanzino. His specialty is to create words using letters from Disneyland. He did a pencil sketch for me of my name using Sleeping Beauty's S, Tiki Room H, Matterhorn A, Snow White R and Sleeping Beauty Parapet for the I. He said that they may start selling his stuff in the park. I think his stuff is pretty cool. Here is a link for the other two that were sold. If you scroll down, you'll also see that artwork I am referring to. Sorry, don't know how to copy the picture into this post.

Ed, Ed Ed... decisions, decisions, decisions..

I'm torn between the "I'm a CSI nut" t-shirt, since I really am..

and

The cookies/ninja stars since they might come in handy when I go back to get my black belt in kickboxing when I get better..

Can I get back to you on this?
