Hehehehe. Looks pretty legit to me, Jason.
The West/Ash Creek looks really.... uh, different.
But I especially like the $1,900 meteoric guitar pick...
"Sculpture "Relic" meteorite guitar pick for the master."
"Freak of nature and craft" "There won?t be too many of these floating
around? This is the first one. The next one is made at a time of my choice.
This is art..."
Uhhh....yeah...art...fraud...it's all good.
