    Who came after Max Thrax?

    (Embarrassingly just had to look it up.)

    Oh yeah. Gordian I and II.

    Oof. Tough stuff. I never had those, and likely never will.

    Everybody’s got Gordie Three, of course, but let’s wait for someone to post his two rare predecessors before we begin that deluge.

    Gordie Three. A semi-recent @John Anthony auction impulse bid. The win price was nice.

    We missed out Balbinus and Pupienus. (And I gather we've dropped the one-post-per-24h-per-member rule? ;))

    Oops. I overlooked that rule. Sorry.

    Had Pupienus, but no pix remain.

    Have never had Balbinus. Want one someday.

    I shall now stand aside and follow the rule.

    I bought it on eBay, and only after realised that it had come from another CoinTalk member - @maridvnvm
