The coolest person I have ever bought coins from and this is what he had....

An ex marine and I have been emailing eachother back and forth for over a month. He is about an hour a way and finally I got to get together with him. Who knew he'd pull a picasso out of his truck along with these mighty fine morgans. He is the coolest cat I have met in some time. I could spend the day just chatting with him and hope I get the chance to some day.

What's that Picasso worth? I'm sure it's not an orginal of course but still, I know copies can be pretty big $$$$.

 

I know the penny is fake but still cool

 

FYI, we're called former Marines, not ex Marines!

 

Its an original print. Picasso had two periods, his earlier period where he produced great masterpieces, and then later in life, (he lived a very long time), he produced tons of prints that he signed and made an excellent living. I think good for him, since so many artists never got to enjoy their success, I am glad he could cash in.

I still remember Jon Lovitz's take on Picasso on SNL. Anyone else remember those skits? "Here, send your daughter to college, (while signing a napkin), better yet, (adding detail), make it Harvard!"

It's appraised at $4800 but we will see. Its an original lithograph signed.

 

My apologies

 

Simper Fi! There is no such thing as a former or ex Marine.

We are Marines forever. We earned it.

No need to apologize. It's an acquired taste!

 

As well as several other terms ! LOL

 

You should here what us Army pukes called ya'll.

Don't worry, I already have heard what you called us. Its all a friendly rivalry.

 

Very true, but you know how hard it is to explain to civilians that you’re a Marine but no longer on active duty. They tend to look at you all confused; like a deer caught in headlights! LOL…

Semper Fi!

 

Former?

I thought it was "Once a Marine, Always a Marine"?

 

Agreed, but you didn't read my post after that.
