I gave more than that for just a BP 442. But I gave less than that for the Balloons.

Oh my gosh Jay, 15$?? That is so cool!! Doug, you and your cradles are driving me crazy. The only cradle I have found is the UFO for $1.

As promised, the chip and dip set and blueprint in action!

After a week-long road trip and almost 3000 miles, I've managed to make it home in one piece and with a few goodies. You can see the best of them here:

You found some nice ones, I think the Bar code is my favorite. I have a question about the Friendship, how did you manage to make the font red and orange speckled? Do you do that in windows paint?

Paintshop Pro allows text to have both a color and a border color. It's just a red border and orange in the middle, but processing artifacts getting it into instagram make it look speckled.

After you posted the Barcode on instagram I went hunting for other pictures and variations. The blue one that Meg has posted is my favorite. I saw a orange one on ebay but the condition was rough.

I am really digging those opal refrigerator dishes. Why don't you post pictures here anymore?

Completed this set today. Found nothing in any of the 5 other places I visited. Then went to a place I expected to find nothing and there were the 501s I was missing.
