only a very few winners. my big question is, given that it's a personalized item, with my full name written on it by mickey and minnie (handwritten), does it have any value or not? one can argue both ways on this one. because it's personalized, it means it's rare and only 1 exists forever and thus is not generic, OR, because it's personalized with my name, it only has value to me.???????????????
both ticket and certificate have been elegantly framed since 1986 and hung in my office. mint condition. expensive and protective framing. please tell me what you think...email me if u wish. thanks a bundle. |
