Pulled the following in the very first set I opened from a 2-case bust yesterday. Any thoughts on what it might bring?

Is that "1/1" seriously hand written?

Ugh. What a way to spoil such a nice card.

The flag is "backwards" to indicate the direction our flag flies when we go into battle. My military uniform has the same flag orientation. You can see it on every soldiers uniform. Look at it the next time a soldier is on TV.

Allen I'm willing to bet that Richard was kidding. Sometimes I'm not sure, but I think I'm right this time.

I don't know him so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification. But I bet not too many people know why the flag is oriented backwards though.

Yes you are right Justin. Allen I was kidding nice card man I would ahve loved to pull that card.

Actually if the flag was the other way the stars would be under the die-cut on the left and you would not see all
of them then. :shock:

You seem like a real class act Pine Tar. Thanks for the clarification. I'm just a "little" sensitive about those kinds of things ; )

First off Class Act?? Not hardly, but hey if you want to say that it is fine. As for being sensitive nothing wrong with that.

Again nice stuff man and I can be a little over board sometimes. Ok most of the time but who's keeping score :D
