Thanks everyone for the kind words! Hey, I was wondering - does anyone know where the CoA went? Lobstrosity didn't have it. So somewhere along the way as Opie has passed through several hands, the CoA was lost. I'm hoping to track it down. Those of you that owned Opie previously, did you pass on the CoA when you sold it? Maybe we can figure out who might still have it. Thanks! You might be able to email topps to get one reissued if you cant find it. I know Jason did that with the poster art I sold him. It was sold with the wrong # so he was able to get another. |

Didn't Barry in Canada have this at one point a long time ago? Maybe he still has the coa? I'd hit up Topps to get it reissued to you

I sold it in 2013 and definitely had the COA and passed it along.

Congrats! I'm glad it all worked out!
For the CoA investigation...I purchased Opie in July of 2017 (without it) from a dealer who said he had received Opie as part of a trade. I don't know how much that will help, but more info can never hurt!

It seems either the dealer or the guy who had Opie just before the dealer is the one with the CoA. I am most likely going to have to ask Topps for a replacement, but who knows? Maybe not. |

All, it is with sadness that I report that the final art for Diced Brice/Chopped Chet has found a new home. I really liked that piece, but happily I was able to replace it with (IMO) an even better one. BEHOLD!: 376 WRETCHIN' GRETCHEN / ILL JILL FINAL ART  Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! |

My wife has put a new limitation on me - no new money spent on art. So if I am going to acquire another GPK final, it will have to be done by selling my other GPK stuff to afford it. So wish me luck! |

Awesome addition! 3 pre lawsuit pounds is a hell of a way to start a collection! Thanks! It has been a whirlwind these past few months. Last year I thought I'd never own an OS final. Now I own three, and they are all pre-lawsuit Pounds. It's crazy. I have had to sell a lot of cool stuff and mortgage my future to do it though. I got a little "art crazy" and now I need to take a break. But peacheswithpeaches latest piece is calling to me... |

Thanks Billo! The beauty of the art is matched only by the guilt I feel in having spent so much to buy it! |

This thread is defunct, as a lot of what I had posted is either no longer in my hands or is for sale. I will be posting a new thread shortly.
