I'm not tiger chasing lol. Having a mixed set always starts or ends with a great set of 5s so here we are!

I remember seing a rack of these on ebay a couple years ago.. was a thread about them on here. They say cheaply for a long time, but maybe someone on here bought them in the end? If you do some searching maybe you'll find that rack as well, @toothpic

You aren't wrong! And if you ever land the fracs for this original set... it will be absolutely epic. I called the existing bar on a hunt. I started down the path of contacting his daughters from his obituary and thought that would be too far of a reach Good luck, PM incoming!

So funny how things change in less than 2 years. Those guys driving the THC! THC! THC! hype train have really spun it up.

Wow, that's a thing of beauty. To know that those chips were used that much to get so buttery looking makes me smile.
