I'm sorry, I wouldn't pay that much for a used thumb pick even if Big E used it.

For that price, Mr Dan's hand orta come with it, don't ya think?

Used to be you could buy these all day for $775.

I think Dan wants his thumb pick back, thank you very much. By the way I've got a button off of one of Bill Monroe's jackets that I'll let go for $999.95. Call me right now at BR-549!!! Hurry, it won't last! I also have Prince Albert in a can if anyone is interested.

I have a string that looks just like one that Lloyd Green had on his LDG. I was going to put it on mine, but I don't want to ruin its value. I'll let it go for half the price of that thumb pick.

If that was a blue herco I'd think about it

How much would it cost to release him?

Buy me the pick and I will release myself

Prince Albert

I used to work in the Council House in Sutton Coldfield, a borough on the outskirts of Birmingham, England. In the basement, the janitor, who was an old man who had worked there for about 50 years, had a jar containing a piece of fæces, labelled "Queen Mary's Turd." Evidently, when Queen Mary visited the building the toilets were closed off for her personal use. Anything remaining in the system after she left had therefore originated with her, and so he kept it as a souvenir for many decades.

Maybe he should have auctioned it off.

As long as he'll sing "Please Release Me",he gets out free

And lots of other of us steel players use National thumb picks on many songs!

The last time I saw it was in 1969. At that time it was as it was deposited forty years earlier.

He said he thinks this is the thumb pick Mr. Dan Dugmore used on the song "Blue Bayou".

Now there's some provenance you can sink your teeth into...

I want to meet the guy that actually buys this pick if it ever sells

Surely this is a typo __ $7.85 perhaps?

Lest we forget--'there are mugs for everything!!'

He's baaaaa-aaaaack!

Now he's using a seashell.
If you were Dan Dugmore, would you be flattered, angry, or both?

I'd give him an A for originality.

This guy must live his life by that old adage...
