*ok, so its only gold plated.

I'm moving home soon and have been busy clearing out the loft and found the Gold version of this, still in its box and intact! The normal has been on the mantel for years.

There was a bit of a scandal at the time of these being released where the guy at Leonard St Gallery, took most of the money people had paid and boshed it up his hooter!

He eventually managed to send some out, in a short window between coming to, and doing a runner. I ordered 2 normals, and a Gold and only ever received one of each (and that was after Beejoir gave me his mobile number to pester him directly as he was so pissed off with the guy), although I understand some punters got got diddly-squat! 
 
Of the ones that went out, I seem to remember lots arrived damaged, so the upshot is I don't think there are that many mint ones about.

What do you think the going rate for these are, and does anyone remember the shenanigans?

The standard was an edition of 500, and the Gold Leaf one was an edition of 100.

Cheers,
uncle
