I was at work yesterday and I saw a very nice looking star note. paper was great, nice and crisp... but with one problem when I pulled it out. There was some sort of red gelatin/jelly on it - and after feeling it, it didnt seem like it would come off. I decided to pass on it because it really ruined the look of the note. oh well! lol. Figure you guys would like a sad story about a jelly-stained star note.   06-19-2008, 10:00 PM   #2 (permalink) RickieB Expert Plunger Sniper     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: United States Posts: 7,070 My Mood: ...all ya needed was a little PB RickieB __________________ "A disordered currency is one of the greatest political evils" Daniel Webster.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S.M.C. 1972-1975   06-19-2008, 11:07 PM   #3 (permalink) clembo A closed mind is no mind     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Southern tip of that big pond known as Lake Michigan.

This one I felt bad about, because it was in such great condition - except for the jelly of course. lol   06-19-2008, 11:42 PM   #7 (permalink) clembo A closed mind is no mind     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Southern tip of that big pond known as Lake Michigan.
