Well, it's been established that Paul's is a close relative. I've got 971.
Anyone lucky enough to have a German BABY out there? (Which were proposed to
be called "Gerber BABY"s).

Mine's number 81, which means they didn't sell them in the exact order
they were numbered, as Keith got his book a few minutes before I did.

That's a rumor that was floating around at GenCon already, IIRC. Whether
it's true or not, I don't know -- the only way to find out would be to ask
her, I guess.

K and I are not certain at the moment. Though we'll probably find out someday
whether or not it is true or not though.

Fenris is the proud owner of BABY #939, which was ordered during that
fateful Monday's "One Hour Buy-out."

Vixen had to "settle" for an numbered Softcover SR3,
'tho it arrived a few weeks earlier.

*THAT* is something we didn't think about in time ... of course, somehow I
don't think it would have any more answers to the SR Universe, let alone our
own, than #1 did (which may or may not be in Mike, Sharon's, Mort's, Jim,
Jordan).

I think Mort (or some other FASA honcho) gets #1 of every product
released, even if they ain't numbered or limited. I heaven't seen any
glass case down at the offices, but there is probably a collection
somewhere.

I'm guessing it was a typo. I never heard anything about a numbered
softcover so I'm guessing he mean an UNnumbered softcover. (also note
that the article that precedes "numbered" supports my conclusion. :)

Would you believe that was supposed to say: _UN-numbered_?!

Grrr.

(On the other hand, I could have *really* put one over on her. And all
it would've taken was a not-so-fancy calligraphy pen. Hmmm...)
