hahahaha.....  :o

WOW.....

I was racing so fast through the brick I had to keep going back to grab the 2-digit notes I was passing over.  ::)

Good for you on your find!!!  ;)

I used to be determined that someone else was ambushing the solids and that is why no one was getting them. I had already convinced myself that there would be a replacement right where the solid was!  ;D

X-S

Is it so difficult to crop your scans?  That way we don't have to look at the table and your notes!

You'd be saving a lot of people time, and I'm sure it would help increase potential sales. :)

Naw, it's pine.  Definitely pine.  It's a veneer on particle-board but it's a pine veneer, friedsquid mon.  I would even go so far as to say it's yellow pine, but that could be the shellac coating that was used to varnish the desk that makes it appear yellow.

And as Punkysdad would say, galang bout yer bizniz and doan cause no tribulation bout no desk, mon.  Focus on de wunnerful noats bein' shown, mon.

  Luckily the cutting cup is reduced to nil by the time it gets to to numbers ending in 888 and 889.  Congratulations!

HAHAHA!!!!  ;D :)

You guys crack me up!

Gary, yes... I was VERY lucky and all the notes look pristine.

The teller thought I was going to pass-out when I looked at the bricks... They were all laughing!!!  ;D

I Got in a Sealed Block 8.891, 8.890, 8.889 and 8.888 (I almost missed the last 8 initially because of the straps). I told my self...

"Yes, there you go again.... So close yet so far" Then I realized the bricks were counting down.  :)  :o

I will post a few pictures of some nice serial number sets I made from the brick as well.

Out of curiousity when you order your bricks have you ever been able to ask for a specific prefix?

Unfortunately not, at least from my experience.

Not in the slightest.

Actually  sometimes you need to cross your fingers for new notes.

The notes come from a depot, it is most likely that the people in tyhe office taking the order never actually see the people picking and filling the orders (Security measure).

Thanks Arthur!

Now I'm beginning to understand why you brick-searchers get so excited about leafing through these bricks!

VERY NICE indeed!!
