The coco 1 without the bubble can't be that rare, Even in mint condition. > From: jps.subscriptions at gmail.com> To: coco at maltedmedia.com> Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:58:12 -0700> Subject: Re: [Coco] Can anyone explain this?> > On Feb 28, 2008, at 8:42 PM, john poco wrote:> > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150219137168&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005> >> > This has GOT to be some kind of scam.
