Guest Rick Research Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Make an Old Boy cry, you beast!!!! Actually, I don't remember prices on a double bars GVK ever being THAT low... and I remember people who cleaned up after The Last Supper. That's a indeed--can you actually remember when you got it?

Guest Rick Research Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 "ummm...1999ish"AAAAAGGGGHHHH That would have been a bargain in 1979 from Jack Sweetman's catalogs of Happy Memory. I got most of my Austro-Hungarian bullion from him in Florida back before the Hunt Brothers' Great Melt-Off. Alllllll gonnnnnnnnne, gonnnnnnnnne, gonnnnnnnnnnnne. I figure it'll take me 4 days to drive cross country. Poor sense of direction and my map reading skills are notorious. See you... Wednesday about dark... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 here is another. LARGE medal in case you didn't notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hmmm. The two bars increase kaching by orders of magnitude (I've never had the privilege of even SEEING a two-bars "live"), but that's about what I was paying in the early 1990s, so not too far out. Got my first Karl Large Silver back in the late 1970s for $15 bucks.Allllllll gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
