<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1656485, member: 41863"]This is your original statement from the first page ^ I highlighted the part of relevance.

Maybe you meant something different in your original statement, i dont know, all i know is what I see written, and saying you should get ALL of the proof franklins plus the set for $850 is just highly inaccurate and not sound advice for the OP.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
