I bought the pencils many years ago in a flea market. It cost me two dollars and half a ham sandwich. I would post pics but I never expose it to air.

Vague memory - didn't the Shooter interview state that BWS had to fax in an original, just for the sake of it?

He signed his name on a blank piece of paper and faxed that! :thumb: He got paid. The real question is, did jayjay get paid to colour it? :lol:
So we just need to track down that piece of thermal fax paper with BWS's signature. :hope:

Now THAT would be interesting! Someone needs to ask Jim Shooter what happened to the fax, though it might be meaningless. After all this time any info on the paper will probably be faded to nothing.

I sent the pencils into a lab and had it extracted from the paper and injected directly in my veins. I plan on sending myself into CGC for grading as an odd variant.

I heard there's a Mad Magazine fold-in hidden if you hold the cover up to a black light. :|

Just a blank fax sent from BWS to Jim Shooter.
