I do. Two. Same price as the non-revs?

 While doing the NR pgs Joe asked me to stamp his pg from Chandler with the bird. As a favor I piggy backed it on my order, I explained the risks but Joe said go ahead. A lot of factors come into play in the hot stamp process and not just a little bit of luck. Heat, preasure, time, material to be imprinted and the transfer film and the size of the die this, being the largest they have ever used. Anyhow this is the end result, they were unable to run test prints because they didn't have any sample material. Way overdone, I am not happy with the results.  :sad:
