    Yeah I guess at that price the shipping would be free.

    My dentist collects guitar picks. He says that the most he's ever paid for a pick--which he has no intention of using on any of his Les Pauls!!!--was $140.

    Is that pick made from material that is legal to sell?

    At that price, I doubt they are celluloid or plastic.

    Seller's feedback shows that sales are all "private". Hmmmm.

    Quite a gamble when the material is "celluloid". Even a bit high is the material is not "celluloid".

    These pics are without a doubt NOT plastic. They don't look at all like plastic.

    I purchased one of these picks about five years ago from this sellar on ebay, for $25, a lot back then I thought. The picks are not plastic, they are most definitely hawkbill shell picks, and old. This seller seems to have an endless supply of these old shell picks. I don't know about the legality of these, the one I bought seemed quite vintage, like the shell picks I bought back in the 1970's. Just thought I would clarify that the one I bought was shell, not celluloid, just FYI.

    Yeah, but you damn sure better get insurance. Don't want your fine purchase to go missing!
