And I thought repeaters were stretching the limits... wow. :o

We have numbers which are unique, like 6453537, and that makes them worth millions, and even if they're not unique, they form a matched set, which makes them worth millions too. Find me a note that is worthless, or at least worth less. ::)

Meaning less drivel. Good grief, every single note with a serial number is unique. Making a code out of odd numbers is a great way to make money for eBay.

I would only consider buying this note if the seller threw in P10158142 at no extra charge (that's PJOHN2 for Pope John Paul II).[smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] ::)

BTW...the "Lady Di" note is described as being a radar note??  :-?

I Agree With Brent...

If people start LOOKING for a reason to make a serial special then EVERY note could be special.  :-/

I think this is pushing it a little too far (Yet Another "E-Bay Scam" to make a quick buck).  :(
