Really, really worn! Is that some die transfer I see, too?
I once got a 1oz AGE from an eBay seller in a plain envelope, or maybe it was a bubble mailer -- but it was sent first-class, with no insurance or...

The difference is that a Slinky Dog actually has a direct physical connection between its ends!
It's a recipe for a smaller and lamer company trying to ride the coattails of a well-known company and maybe draw off a few clueless shoppers....
