| ABSURD!!! A banjo player in SC was buying a bunch of those old Nationals, I guess he thought it'd make him play better---He should have taken some lessons. |

Jeff Newman insisted that his students use those exact picks.
I first took lessons from him in 1979, and have at least 3-4 sets of them still.
Gee, anyone want to pay me $250 a set, I could be convinced to part with a couple of them.

| You gotta be kiddin'!! I must have a $1,000 worth rolling around in the bottom of my old briefcase. I better get them out and polish them up and treat them with respect. |

A friend of mine works in a music store that deals vintage stuff. The first thing he does when a lap steel comes in is rummage through the case and get out all the old picks! People think that these old picks will make them sound like their old heros I guess----anybody have a Chet Atkins thumbpick?  |

Oh my goodness, that is insane! Someone has way too much money on their hands. (Wish they'd give me some of it...)  I'm just glad to see that the reserve has been met... |

I just checked my stash of old Nationals. At 2 per set and $212.00 per set, I have $3,180.00 worth of them. I keep them in a parts bin above my work table. Maybe I should show a little more respect and give them a better storage place. Think I'll bring them in the house and let them age some more.................
and then there's the old Dunlops! Wonder what they're worth????[This message was edited by les green on 11 February 2005 at 02:14 PM.] |

The "Financing Available" notice on the page made me smile.
I never thought of financing a set of picks. |

| I still have about 50 of these picks from my store that I have put back.I did give Tom Morrell some two or three years ago, I hope they keep going up. |
