Hello All -

Today I have two exceptional, rare, huge iron slices available to list for
one day before they go off to eBay tomorrow. If you are a fan of big irons
then these are definitely worth a look, one is never available, the other a
standout specimen of a hard to get California iron. Also today a few lunars
to look at down at the bottom. Today only, I am willing to explore partial
trade options on the irons.
