So, Brian, have you actually tasted the beer yet?
And thanks guys for the encouragement. Really means a lot to me. Hope you guys enjoy them. In the mail to you next week.
Now you need to send everyone SDCC exclusives for free to really up your status! You would be GOD LIKE!!!

I wish...on the freebie thing. I'm sure with the sales and all it'll be a little harder to score freebies, unless I hit Jeremy up individually. Tom on the other hand...

I was impressed. In the beginning, I didn't see $1048 for all seven myself and it was broken up pretty good too. Aside from one person getting a #1 & #6 and another getting a #2 & #7.

I tried for a couple of them but they were out of my price range on what I was wanting to pay. I didn't even bid on #1 or #7 because I knew I had no shot, but thought I might get lucky on one of the other. Guess not.
Yeah dude...does this makes them rarer than issue one?
IMO, no. As I stated earlier, they were marketed as rarities, whereas the other books are rare in themselves, i.e. the no logo (virgin), the SP (self-published), the 2nd print, which all have their own stories as to why they are rare. Distributor destroyed them, delivery lost them, limited # printed, etc. That's just me though and not sure how others feel.
