You are in the early stages of getting your collectors eyes...especially a variety collector. I say that you push for answers at this stage to...
Wait...aren't you that guy who said something about the Oak Island Treasure? ;-)

This DDO is harder to find than the 1984 DDO (ear). At least, that is what I've read. I've never found either myself. Here's what it looks like...
