I am retired and said "No f*cking way," but I ordered 100 for him. I don't know where they went, but he was peddling them in Harrisburg in 08. The original 25 cost me about $5.00, the second 100 were $5.71 each. The last 50 were $6.26 each. When I sent them to my friends, the postage and confirmation was about $2.70 plus a 6" X 9" plastic bubble mailer. Never sold one, never will. Free to teammates and close SF friends.
