I framed it and hung it in my room(s) during high school and college. I now wonder a) where is it? b) is it at my parents house? c) is it worth a fraction of $100k? :) Probably not, but I'd like it back to hang in my ::cough:: mancave :::cough::: (and the other <b>three</b> framed similar ones)!

Got this one. @dross1260 I gotta say that I like Coke, but my soft drink preferences have nothing to do with the fact that I cannot outbid $100,000. Maybe I could bid for an illustration off a toothpick box for $36.99. Plus buyer's premium, of course. Cash or cashier's check only.
