    Snake riding a horse. Now I don't know very much about horses but that seems a little off to me. Also that Bronze statue you linked is awesome.

    Ok jw, one of my vcoins dealer friends told me that vcoinauctions was waiting for about 355 RR coins to clear customs, once they do they will put the site up, probable after 1st of the year...:), so you better get off the wagon by then.....o_O

    Steve it looks like you've been a busy bee 4 grand beauties, Merry Christmas to you!!!!

    OK John. Thanks for the heads up. Can you send me a PM with the name of the dealer? Appreciate it. I plan to be off the wagon after the first, but I need to be even more frugal than before.
