Looking For…

Blair’s 24k Skull?
Looking for a Blair’s signature death sauce skull dipped in 24kt gold with display case. Seen some 6 AM’s that come with them, I wasn’t so lucky. Leave a post here if you can help me out. Willing to give up my first born stepson – j/k ~ Ryan

Rare Blair’s Reserves
I am looking for a Caldera and a 2004 Halloween Reserve, both are fairly rare and pricey, but I would be interested if anybody had one to sell. ~ Cheffy

Signed & Numbered Blair’s 2AM
Anyone have a signed AND numbered red AND black resin 2am they want to sell? I can get the just signed red and black but I want the numbered one too. ~ Scott

For Sale/Trade…

Blair’s Holiday Reserve 2004
I have a holiday reserve 2004 that I would love to trade for a bottle not in my collection. if anyone is interested post. ~ MikeG

Blair’s 5AM #891
I have an extra Blair’s 5am #891 looking for a home without one and I’m pretty sure I could find a double digit (under #27) Le Million ~ Thakswet

Old Style Blair’s After Death
Chris has a few bottles of the old label Blair’s After Death. They can be found here on eBay – Tell him you found it here on the HSB.

General…

Preston & Steve’s Fire in the Hole Hot Sauce – Signed
In the first Collector’s Corner, Chris was kind enough to tell us about the Fire in the Hole Hot Sauce made by WMMR. Here’s the latest from Chris:
I made it to the radio station today and the meet the WMMR morning crew. All of them signed a bottle for me. Maybe not a big deal, but I believe its the only signed bottle in existence. Most people wouldn’t find that exciting or special except for the true sauce collectors that frequent the HSB. I can send you a pic if you wish and maybe put it up? I hung around for about 40 minutes, but did not get to plug the blog on air. They had to much to get through on their show. Not to pest you, I had to tell someone who would really care. (the loyal chileheads on the HSB). ~ Chris

While you working on sending your collection pictures to Blair, you may as well send them on to the HSB and show off your collection to the other chileheads. Submissions can be sent to nick ‘@’ hotsauceblog.com.
Include a brief description of your collection and we’ll post it for all to drool over. Previously posted collections can be seen here. If you’ve sent in pictures lately, we’ll get them up soon, I promise – still recovering from Super Bowl Wing OD.

    Hey Chris of Preston & Steve hot sauce stories…I’d love to quote you on the Philadelphia MetBlog.

    Could you comment here to give me permission or deny permission to quote your stuff?

    Hi Suzanne, Thats fine. Use what you need.
    If you include the part
    “today and the meet the WMMR ” it should read “today and met the WMMR”
    Like I said, it was pretty cool of Preston to do this for me. I mentioned to him (e-mail) that their sauce was on HSB. (I sent Nick an e-mail about it so other collectors (not from Philly area) would be able to get a bottle if they wanted) Preston thought that was pretty cool and checked out HSB.
    A couple of weeks went by and I sent him another mail asking if he could sign and send me a bottle of their sauce. He said stop by one morning. I made arrangements and next thing I knew, I was there picking up my signed bottle. Awesome, and as the listeners of Preston and Steve would say:
    “You Guys Rock!”
    You just never know how far hot sauce collecting can take you. Like I said to Nick, I knew the people on HSB would understand as others think Im nutz…
    I am only spreading the “hot sauce” word.

    Anyone interested in listening to an excellent morning show (no matter where you live), check out http://www.wmmr.com and click on listen live. They stream over the internet. (6-10 am eastern).
    As they say “give them a week”
    They also have podcasts available.

    Ive got a sweet death #33 of 36 but I just dont think I can let that one go.

  12. Nick Lindauer Avatar

    Yeah – Sweet Death #2 or #4 (can’t remeber) took an unfortunate turn for the worse when it hit our floor, so any bottles that are out there are that much more valuable I would say.

  13. MSK Avatar

    I have Sweet Death numbers 1, 9 and 14.

  23. Scott Avatar
    Scott

    Hey eman, cant you still get those from Blair? Or did he change the lables again?

  24. Scott Avatar
    Scott

    Nevermind eman, I just went and got some jalapeno and I guess he changed the labels. Ill see if I can find some old white stripe label ones around at the hot sauce store I goto. I need a white stripe jalapeno one myself.

    eman

    cool,thanks for checking
    since the sweed death is already white,you have to look at the “BLAIRS” to see what font size it is
