<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hello Groop,<BR><BR>I emailed you guys the other week about an excellent Groo item on ebay (that I am unaffiliated with) - a rare cover by aragones with Groo on it from Bakatopia Comic Con 2009. The seller sold out very quickly after I sent you guys the other email but after corresponding with him he has listed 10 more at least 2 of which were snatched up by a fellow Grooper late last night. <BR><BR>There are currently 7 left and I expect them to sell fast following this email alert. <BR><BR>http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-BAKATOPIA-Comic-Con-Cover-SERIO-ARAGONES-Cover-/350446320590?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51983a7bce<BR><BR>Good luck Groopers!!!<BR><BR>Thanks to all for their Emerald City Con reports. I am very excited about the next litho(s) by sergio and hopes he chooses the one vs the women warriors as one of them already shows him fighting the monkey people. Still hoping for the chance to Meet Sergio like the lucky bunch on the Groop that waste no time reporting it - maybe if he comes to the east coast again this year I will make it. <BR><BR>Also - is packrat still a member here? He hooked me up with a few Groo cards years ago and wanted to thank him again for his generocity - if you're reading this, thanks a lot! It was probably 10 years ago or so. Azamin - email me about those elusive indonesian newspapers, I want one badly.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Anil<BR><BR>Look - no previous emails below for the internet-speed impared. ;)<BR></FONT></FONT></FONT><BR>_______________________________________________ Groop mailing list Groop@groo.com http://mailman.newdream.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/groop </body>
