White Firecracker 500
Blair’s Firecracker 500: White Base (only 24 exist!)

So the first sighting has occured, one lucky chilehead was kind enough to let me put my grubby paws on their White Firecracker 500 for the sake of the HSB bloggers. Isn’t it beautiful?

Firecracker 500's
Blair’s Firecracker 500s: Red, White & Blue

There you have it folks, a trio of collectible reserves.

Bret you really think so? Personally I would have thunk, he would have numbered them randomly from 1-500 taking the need to have a low number away. Welp I guess time will tell (unless you have the inside scoop there Bret :) ?!
Remember the quote “No two bottles are the same” … I think we can see why this is now! He has 3 different base colors and at LEAST 3 different INK colors, so collecting multiple bottles wont just be about numbers but ink base wax and number now :)
Well, that is assuming you are a mental case like myself :mrgreen:

Nick care to enlighten us with the possibility of Brets comment (without revealing the number? Does that one happen to be within the 1-24 range or over it?

No - the white reserves are not 1-24, the one pictured is #293

Well now that Blair has done an all AMERICAN bottle true to the fact it is USA the product comes from, I wounder if he will ever do Italian or other country colors close to his heart? I guess time will tell.
Like maybe a world cup XX depending on how many world cups there have been :D (OK Silly but I would buy one, heck I bought an Italian Jersey for someone i know as a gift) OHH, did you see that as i re-read that?! Italien Jersey…And Blair is from Jersey and has a little Italian in him….hmm i do detect some foreshadowing there. Hmm maybe that feeling is just gas. Ohh well.

We ought to keep track of what numbers are white as they surface. Just a thought……

Comment by HenryK (214) - 7/15/2006 @ 1:14 pm | [ Quote ]

Now that we know there wasn’t any other low numbers out there in between 1–500 (238+238+24=500) I really could not see it happening other than the way pmac mentioned. Since it had to add up to 500 how could there have been a 1-24 within the 500 without it becoming 524.

That said I have a Blue and Red Base and I’ll wait for a White to take its place on top of the shelf. (The finale of an era.)

The 1-24 i think he meant the first 24 bottles would have all been the white ones. Therefore have been numbered 1/500 2/500…etc

I remember ALLOT of people were saying the same sort of thing when the B99 came out. It does look nice classic conservative with a bit of flair, just like the B99 :)

I am sure that will make a difference too to keep them all different. I personally don’t put too much stock on that. I think too many people consider that rare. But its his slogan and lots of bottles have it (I would be willing to bet more than 24 or 30 :) )

AAAAAA!!!!! I would love to have a single digit 2am. I got #278 2am but now I want to go lower. I got the 2am that says “Feel Alive” on the side about 3 months ago. Got it for 40 bucks. Its not numbered but it does say feel alive. Kinda cool. Never saw a 2am with that on it untill I saw the one I got. Thats why I grabbed it.

Yeah, I got my second order today red base # 153 and blue base #162. Anybody got a white base up for trade or sale???? Let me know if you do. Only 1 encore per person not per order as I had two orders on different credit cards. That is nice Blair, I like the way you did that only one per person makes it even more of a collectable….
