Finally able to check one off of my most wanted list

I have been trying to land one of these for the last 5 years. The first 3 years none of these popped up on ebay. Since then only about 1 a year has shown up, but since last summer there have been 8 put up for sale. One seller has 5 of them listed now in one auction, but he wants $300 a piece for them. The last 3 that have were listed at auction I lost out on at the last second, but I was able to find this one last week with a BIN at $170 and that is almost $100 less than I have bid on these in the past. I can't tell you how thrilled I was when this came in the mail yesterday.

This has been at the top of my Signing Bonus want list and now it has been checked off.

I've always like those but never owned one. Instead I have a pile of the etched glass one from the following year.

Awesome pick up and at a great price!!

Very nice. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the andruw when I had the chance.

Awesome pick-up. I still have mine from when I bought a box of this stuff. I can't even remember who it's of. I think it's Rich Harden.
