    MattUK, last time I checked my local liquor store still had a few of the numbered 3AM. In fact, I picked one up for the price of a 2AM because it was mislabeled. (Hey, every buck counts…) I can check for you if you want. If you’re willing to reimburse me for the cost and the shipping charges, I’ll grab one for you and let you have it at store price. Cheaper than that eBay auction.

    Especially if it’s my product!!! He was looking for a pre-producton Talon, there were only 12, we sampled out of one and we sold the other 11. Cheffy got 1, but I think the rest went to the public. Jim had 1, and he passed it on to MSK (for a fee).

    It wasn’t until the shows end that I discovered I’d missed out. CaJohn said he told me but apparently I’d forgotten all about it 🙁

    Fortunately a few weeks later Jim was willing to step up to the plate. All in all the fee was minor compared to the hole it would have created being without it.

    HSP2 and Mom were able to go home on Thursday. All was going fine until last night when my daughter began to experience complications with chest pain and breathing . This morning they said along with a lot of fluid retention, they found some irregularities with her heart. She’s in the hospital now but it will be morning before we know exactly what’s going on.

    Waiting on that email. You can get my address from my site, just click on my name from this comment.

    I checked last night, and they had several left. But, they all had small cracks in the wax. Some were worse than others, but I grabbed a few with the smaller cracks and pushed them to the back. 🙂 If you don’t mind small cracks, the I can get you one no problem.

    I think PayPal will be the easiest way. Get my email and we’ll work this out.

    Post by Tracy C.

    “Several weeks ago, ChrisK, Eman, Ryan, and myself joined together and formed a small, informal chilehead society that we call, “The Hot Sauce Underground”. With efforts from each member, we came up with a limited number of special bottles of sauce that we all signed, (same general idea as the HSB signed bottle), and have added to our collection. These bottles are very cool, and would make a “special” addition to any chileheads collection.
    Before I bore you to tears, here’s what we would like to do for Jim and his effort in raising money. I would like to put one of these bottles up for grabs on Ebay, (within a few days) and 100% of the selling price will go to the charity fund(s) that Jim mentioned above. I hope that I’m not stepping on any toes here, but I believe that this could be a fun way to help raise money for this cause, and to help “Brother Jim” out… “

    Yes I did get a signed Pre-Release Pre-Production Talon from CaJohn at the FFS. I did not know there were 11 others, Iam sure they all went to good homes. I have a question for anybody and everybody. I found a little store in a strip mall that was selling 2am bottles that were dipped in black and red wax and were signed but not numbered. I bought one and they have 2 left. They also had (2) 3am’s that were dipped in black, red and yellow wax and were signed but not numbered. I bought one and they have one left. Does anyone have any info on these bottles????

    [Comment ID #35676 Quote]

    Cheffy, those are the newest 2 and 3 AM bottles. There were a few that got the black wax that were numbered as well, but very few I think.

    I just put up my #510 LeMillion on ebay for anyone interested. One day auction. Was saving it for a trade item, but need to sell quickly.

    I sat down today and figured out my investment in my small collection and approximate worth at current trends. Almost was tempted to sell the whole batch! I found the value vs. cost to be suprisingly good. No way I could do it though, it’s hard enough selling the Le Million, and it was a spare.

    It’s not smudged, that’s the way Blair signed it. When you look close, you can see it was a hurried #. With 999 bottles to sign, a little slip is forgivable halfway through. 🙂
