So I am kinda mixed up, I know they made a Black one a Red for 08 one as Well as a blue one for 888.1
Weren’t they small bearing? I only have been fortunate to own the blue one and I think it was LB maybe I’m wrong.
Wasn’t 07 Jason Lee Black and also Highwalled? Small Bearing I am pretty sure
08 Jason Lee was Red w white outer rim,still small bearing?
So only 3 Jason Lee 888s? Would be cool to see a collection of 3 up for sale.
I wonder what they run at mint thesendays?
888.1: Paid $60 Sold for $80
Red 08 Jason Lee Mint: 150? 200?
Black 07 Jason Lee mint: $250-$350?
Prob the whole set would sell for $600 at the least, the genomes you can find the m pop up for a decent price other ones the collectors all grabbed, haven’t seen any on BST unless they want a price $50-100 over what people actually would pay. 07 never seen but who knows.
