It really is something special. I’m happy to have had this one in my collection!!! I ended up acquiring it from a former member, for a good chunk of change, but wasn’t sure how exactly I wanted to spotlight it. Was NEVER gonna be put into rotation. Being NIB, there’s something cool about keeping it that way. However, then it’s not on display (which requires cleaning/dusting). I’ve been friends with Dennis for a few years, but until last year, I never realized that Gen.1 MTs were his “grail collection”. After finding this out, I kinda knew what I should do with my Packer MT. One day Dennis texted me something like “I finally got a brownie MT...now my collection is complete”. Anyone that knows me, knows I like to bust balls. So...I ecstatically text him back “Congrats, but you’re still missing one!!!” with this pic:
Of course, I didn’t immediately let on my intentions. Had to take some wind out his sails, before offering it to him. However, I wasn’t done F’ing with him. So I threw out an over the top eBay kinda price, just to make it seem way outta reach. After a couple weeks, I decided to get serious & start the dealing. We all know that I coulda put it on eBay & likely gotten a payday, but true friends come before funds any day. I’m also not one who feels right profiting much from friends, so we settled for just below my purchase price + a Euro Ivory SJ + a promise. Well Dennis being Dennis, decided to throw in some extra goodies, including these pristine grails:
I’ll miss having it in my collection, but knowing that it’s in “the right place” makes it easier. Helps to have a Packers SJ to stare at still.
