I just woke up about 10 minutes ago. Here is the most recent dream I had about the treasure hunt. Names of the parks have been changed to protect the superstitious.

My brother left work at 2:00 Thursday to come hunt. Wed. night's clue had pinpointed the park as Cattle Geek Park. Everyone was up near the elementary school, and my brother, who was lost, ended up looking in the woods by the creek near the middle school and he found it within 15 minutes. We went through the whole bit of going to the paper and turning it in etc.

THESE DREAMS SEEM SO FRICKING REAL.

sadly I don't often remember my dreams (maybe like once a year) and to my recollection I've never had one about the medallion, too bad I bet they're the best kind of dreams.

Dude, you GOTTA get those plates. Of course you know the rare (HEH) Cold Feet) is there.

My wife has every one since 1976. The last ones we bought were $40-45.00 retail, so there's some value there.

If you hadn't bid, I woulda.

Good Luck

Heh Thanks Ian!

I didn't want to let them slip if I could manage.

I've bought two single plates on eBay. Strangely both were $12.00 (1/3 retail) and both were 1991. I still have one, and mucluck got the other. This is only other time I've seen any.

There were some singles being sold at the landmark center the day the buttons were shown off but I haven't seen many either.

Otis....anybody else and I would have bid on them....

At a tax collector meeting, they sold a bunch to us relatively cheaply. I assume that the remainders were sold at Landmark Center during button launch.

One of a long series of "travelogue" shorts written and directed by Phil Foster, using his real name of Arthur Cohen...

getting more confusing......sucky part is this is a common name and I don't think I'd stand a chance in hell of him still being alive...

I thought this was funny.

"But the winter carnival is a nationally known institution. They know about it even in Brooklyn."
