With my recent experience with OJ, I couldn’t resist. I hope it’s as good as the photo.

That is an amazingly stunning slab! If it were me, it would probably end up in the too pretty to cut drawer.

Looking forward to the cabs that come out of it. (popcorn)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

It was a pretty big bullet. I put it on my watchlist and received an offer I couldn’t refuse.

I can't wait to see pics that you take of it and post... I'll be curious if you still want to cut it once it gets to you.

Just to see what they looked like.
