My guess is that it's #29, and they lost the certificate of authenticity or<br>they're keeping it.<br><br><blockquote><hr>Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 09:17:41 +1000<br>From: Jason@hlmsolutions.com.au<br>To: Groop@groo.com<br>CC: grossfamm@comcast.net<br>Subject: [Groop] Groo Cheese Dip Artist proof Proof Statue update<br><br>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal">Hi Guys, just a note about what I have found out about this Artist
Proof statue.</p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal">They said it is #29, on the base. (if they have numbered it
there)</p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal">I have also found out (as well as it being mentioned here in
the threads) that the statue is a few over run of production, for damaged
statues, and for the artists involved etc, to have one for themselves, or to
give to friends. It also has no certificate unlike the limited edition numbered
ones.</p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal">To be honest, as I already have a statue without a
certificate, I don’t really see the logic in getting this particular edition
of the statue, unless there is a good argument why I should buy it. I may
wait for another auction on ebay I guess (I missed the last bugger).</p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal">So it seems these Artist proofs are basically spares. Im not
sure if that makes these statues collectable, what does the groop think/know about
Artist Proof stuff?</p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal">Kind Regards,</p>
