OP hasn't been on since 3:00am this morning. It'll probably be some time before an update is posted.

As I recall, this thread started out with pics of the titular grail, and a story, hence the OP's three opening posts, having been edited, now appearing somewhat vague and pointless.

Perhaps the AD didn't come through and/or contacted the wrong person on the list.

Can't think of any other reason of why someone would post pics then remove.

OP - No need to hide from us.

I never saw pics, just assumed he was deliberately being playfully dramatic, wanting us to wait along with him. It didn’t bother me, though.

I’m pretty sure they were of the GMT Pepsi Meteorite this morning. I couldn’t sleep and saw some pics.

There should be a rule against post like this. I could hardly eat and have hard time falling a sleep due to the suspense.

Sorry TRF community. I was so excited last night that I just WENT FIR IT with an incoming post. Then, I realized this was NOT a simple single credit card thing.

Now what. I can’t delete my post until I actually complete the purchase, so I decided to just edit each post. Lamely, I might add.

Sorry to do this, but I’m gonna ask you to bear with me one more day. Others have seen before I took it down, and others have guessed. Here’s a hint:

I’m not asking out of suspense, just I hate to jinx it before the purchase is completed.

It’s like the John Mayer point about some watches feeling like a huge gut punch in terms of the hit to your wallet.

Makes sense now.

You’re gonna love it. The GMT meteorite is my favorite is my collection. I picked up mine two years ago and still love it just as much as the first day.

Just be cautious to not be flagged for credit cycling by your card’s bank.

I don't know about that....almost no "classic" incoming thread reaches a length of three pages!
