RC10 Graphite #1:
It's in the right hands!
The funniest
thing about all this is that when we "uncovered" it in the
warehouse, we didn't think anything about it, really... it was
an "unusual" kit, but not a real first-generation benchmark
like the first gold-tub. Besides, we have so much really
historic stuff just lying around... like the black corvette
from the movie "Dead Pool", one of the very first original
HANDMADE pre-production gold-tub RC10's that Curtis Husting
made, Cliff Lett's 111-mph speed run car, etc, etc., that we
just kind of overlooked that that kit may be really worth
something.
It wasn't really "pounced upon" on E-Bay a
couple of years ago, so we thought it was just a neat old kit,
not particularly valuable. You can blame Ebay for all this, as
it really brings the "collectors" out in all of us! I've
bought some R/C stuff off E-Bay, like an original (not the
reissue) Tamiya Tyrrell 6-wheeler, myself.
In talking with
Julie Husting and Gene (who dropped by today), we thought it
was really cool that someone wound up with the kit who really
appreciates it. By the way, look for photos of Gene's "History
Room" at his home on our website soon. He's got all kinds of
stuff in there, and still working on it.
It's in the right
hands!!!
By the way, hope you like your AE calendar!
