--------------->Gary, thanks for responding with the info. It was both
helpful and humbling. Helpful in that I think I am closer to unraveling the
mystery than before, and humbling in that I am an idiot.
I also rechecked my statute (oops, I mean statue. Darn (k, e c?)
lawyers)and stuff. The numeral is definitely a roman 1. It is hand painted
in white. Everything else was printed. I didn't check it out close enough
to see if that was all there was cuz there wasn't anymore. I assume it was
there. So on its face it appears that I was rewarded for my groodication
(staunch since pacific). Cool! Cool! Kull!
I have a fair number of statues. I believe I have been collecting
them for about 6 years now. Over those years various things have happened to
the certificates of authenticity. I believe at first, that I stored them in
the original box. However, I also know that there was a time when I filed
the certificates in a folder. Also there are various statues where that
certificate lay underneath the displayed item. At this point I have
determined that the Grooo statue certificate is neither the first nor the
last of these options. Based on the time frame involved, if filed the
certificate must be in a bin currently obstructed by ~ 10 minutes of moving
and replacing other bins. That, and the ease with which I shall be
sidetracked should I open that bin have prevented me from searching out the
certificate over the weekend. Now, I have no specific recollection of ever
seeing the particular certificate, but then again I read Groo. Could it be
that I have some kinda knockoff or have I simply unmembered the certificate?
I hope the latter. In bolstering of that hope I did buy the statue direct
from Graphitti Design.
Which brings me to wonder how could I possibly have gotten the first
statue. I had asked my cb dealer to get me one, but as that was one the
first times I asked him to get one he must have doubted my commitment, as it
never came in. Eventually, in whatever degree eventually presents in one
slow of mind, I said aww to spell with 'em, and ordered direct from GD. That
baby (the statue) must have been on the market for at least 2 months, and
more likely more, before I got it. It confuses me. How could I get the
first one. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ari
