Default Be The First To Own One Of These \"Rare\" Collectables

Got get me a couple of these before they're all gone. Maybe they'll start a whole series, call it the "jerks of poker."

Yeah, maybe, but I wish I could sell this kind of trash and make money.

Has anyone actually seen anyone with these card covers? For kitsch/goof value they're great, but if someone truly got it as a kind of fan piece, i'd feel sorry for them.

However, if I ever get to a final table with one of the guys that has one of these, I'm getting one. They can likely rest easy though.

Hi Eric:

When I see stuff like this I wonder, "Have these guys no shame?" I can't believe that there's much money to be made from this stuff.

Best wishes,
Mason

Even worse, can you imagine sitting at a table with someone who actually is using that piece of crap to cover their cards?

One wonders if the amount of $$ that Phil actually made off that thing is worth the embarassment that's associated with it. I'd love to see someone who plays in a regular game with him get a hold of one of those.

Well, I guess that's just putting it a bit more politely.

But I would argue that my way gets to the point more directly.

The passive 'Mason' approach and the more aggressive 'Microbob' approach each has merit. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
