    I picked up a new addition today. It's been at the local shop a while, but I;ve been indecisive about, but broke down and got it :D I love how the lettering feels on the obv.

    I like all three, but I think I'm seeing double on the first ;). Actually, I like the newbie very much. Just look at that imposing portrait!

    One of my favs from my collection for the same reason:
