I thankfully got in on the campaign.
Wish I had picked up more (maybe some to sell) as they are showing up on Ebay now and selling in the $60 - $80 range.

As far as I can (correct me if i'm wrong) - they haven't actually sold yet?

At least one has
I was watching it.
It ended on Wednesday at $80
started at $0.99

there are a few more up now. But not the flow that we saw of federal 52 when they were selling at that price.
I have a feeling fewer people bought these in the numbers that some people bought The Federal in.
Also Lee just said he is keeping them exclusive where Jackson was trading his away and has offered them on his website. (Note: Jackson never said his would be exclusive, just limited.)


Here is a link to the one I am talking about

I always get wary when I see auctions like that.  It looks like the first bidder set a high first auto-bid and kept getting bid higher and higher until that initial bid was finally exceeded.  There's just too many ways to shill-bid things and make it look legit.  Could it be legit?  Maybe.  But I don't know.

I've seen it happen where someone will shill-bid an item just to raise the market rate, then turn around, find "new stock" and sell it again for a price close to if not higher than the original "sale" price.
