Modellpularn Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Found an Uncertain T on the 'bay a couple of weeks ago. At first I wasn't thinking of bidding, but you know how it goes, it's almost like a drug..... But I was sure some "sniper" would slam and get it in those last seconds. Nope, didn't happen. So now I have two, and I wasn't going to buy more models.... yeah, right! I confess, I'm addicted. Here it is, second issue in the regular size box, as opposed to the early Monogram flat boxes. Pic is from seller. Only things missing are the glass parts. I also bought a Mako Shark from our own Mr Obsessive. And tonight I found the first issue of the '56/57 Corvette. I had it, but this one was just a little better.... Maybe I should call myself "Obsessive Collector".... but I don't think I'm a hopeless case....hehe Edited September 6, 2010 by Modellpularn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaleSpeedShop Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I sure wish I had it. I have an old built up that needs restored. Someday I will find all the parts to restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Cullinan Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Nice score! Don't leave us hanging, how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modellpularn Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Nice score! Don't leave us hanging, how much? Oh, ok it wasn't too bad considering a mint kit runs around 320-350$. 180 bucks + shipping 31$, + customs duty, about 70$ when it arrived....So I guess it came close to almost 300$ anyway. But I see it as an investment, like many of my models. Maybe it's not like art or stamps, or other stuff that's considered valuable in fine circles, but we know our stuff!

Seven years and probably 500 models later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to hear I'm among other styrene freaks..... It's a positive thing, so cool when you meet someone on the other side of the world, and you "click" We speak styrene!
