One was from November 3rd, so I figured I'd post these for old times sake.
These letters were listed on eBay a few years ago. I bid on them but lost, however, I did keep the jpg's from the auction, and included them here. They're pretty small and hard to read, so I re-typed them below. Still waiting on the RINGO Q8!
PS - Did someone here get these in the auction? I forgot who the winner was.
============================================
