well you know what. the worst thing i could have done with that was sit it on my watch list.

i was sat in work and i looked at it about 25 times in about 2 hrs and you know when you know you cant really afford it, yet you start to hear that voice that says "oh go on, what the hell, you only live once" etc...well there we go.

i have wanted this for such a long time it is just silly. i always loved the title and well its just one of them i have to have items. what makes it just perfect for me, is that its frank's DM copy from the actual tournament, so that will make it ultra-special for me, as its not just any old great bugbear hunt

sure the BIN might have been a little high for what others maybe would have paid, but i have no idea of the value or anything, but in the end, does it matter? if you want it, you get it. i didnt want to take the chance on the bidding, cos everytime i do that, you snipers sweep the floor with me so i thought feck it, cover my eyes and hit the button baby!

looking forward to getting it very much. trouble is, just means i have to sell one of my other rares to partially sort the funds, but thats ok. this feels just so much nicer to me

for me, this is about the equivalent of that woody you got BM. starting to really like these tourney things - pity i didnt get more into them 2 planescape ones that azurah won early this morning but thats ok.

if frank puts another tourney up anytime soon, i am just gonna cry

thanks y'all

And it comes with its own PPP (so now you have two). AND I went through and wrote the original player's name on the back of each sheet -- the person in the Philadelphia or Lake Geneva campaign who created the character used later in the tournament.

I try to take care of my buyers, as many of y'all know by now.  

    wow thanks frank, thats amazingly generous of you. i am so pleased with this (deliberately ignoring the cost of course )

cant wait to get this lemme tell ya - thankyou for the time in answering the multitude of questions i fired off in such a short time

Thanks for the introduction to this guy, red_bus.  I went looking for him based on your tagline quote.

Al, all kidding aside, that is a great item to have. There certainly are not many of them around but it does not have that "nobody ever heard of it" status.

I like items such as that one. Solid piece of TSR / convention history. It will surely be one of those items that will become a feature piece of your collection.

Ah, yes, Blake...the greatest poet that no one knows they are quoting.

  He is is both the writer of the line, "tiger tiger burning bright" and the painter of The Great Red Dragon and The Woman Clothed With the Sun.

   Blake is the Philip K. Dick of poets and painters...everyone knows his work but no one knows the artist.

   Nothing about Blake strikes me as particularly angry, and his politics are the politics of the mystic.

Fiery the angels rose, and as they rose deep thunder rolled
Around their shores: indignant burning with the fires of Orc

  Misquoted...yes, but very well...for the script of Bladerunner.

  But I digress.

dont tell me you spell tyre like tire ??!!    (as in the tyre of a car)
