We could add a logical third to Henry Ford II’s two famous dictums, as in:

1. Never complain.
2. Never explain.
3. Never discount.

That is a mistake that should never have been made; this, after all, is what rank patches and shoulder insignia are for.

To qualify for the Space Force, Major D, you must either have been born off-planet or can point to something else that makes you an alien. Considering I was born in Austria and didn’t move here permanently until I was over twenty years old perhaps I could make the grade as an “alien”.

I suggest you check again.

But I still have checks left!

Major D, Rooster and Seth, precious metals are down, retail prices are way up, homes have lost value, the stock market is faltering and banks are collapsing; seems we are in the midst of what might not be the best of times and as such it’s likely no longer surprising people are finally beginning to tighten their belts.

I think sign of the times. It’s unusual for the Congrat set to still be out there with 11,198 still available as of 9 pm EST March 11 (9 days after release). Even if you discount the extra 10,000 mintage, it means it didn’t sell out of the first 30,000 yet. Something unheard of in past years where the 30,000-limit sold out in the first hour.

I got mine today, too. I like it with the matte finish and the clamshell.

Thanks for the update Seth. Just got mine in the mail today along with the congrats set. Also surprised it took this long.
