Yep, I made that one.

First off I didn't lie. I have sent you a pm. Bottom line is that in the last 3 days something has happened that has caused me a great deal of hassle and trouble, so instead of whining about it on xba I have rolled up my sleeves and done what I can to alieviate the situation. This is important to me b/c not only do I have my own situation to be concerned with, I also have other situations with other members that I am doing what I can to fullfill my end of the bargin (you know who you are). I am not saying that these obligations will not be met, however, I wish for these to be taken care of and not provide me with one penny in my pocket left over. It is pointless to spend all of your money before you have more coming in. I remember on here a while back when I think it was space himself who said something like "if you are using money that you would use to pay the electric bill to buy faceplates, then it could be a problem". I haven't been on as much lately due to the fact that I have a checklist as long as.... well its long, and some of it which is my highest priority now is some members here on xba, as well as my car, and the list continues on and on. If someone has a problem with me I invite them to contact me personally so we can squash the b.s. and move on instead of blatently calling me a liar. If you didn't know, then no worries, no prob. and thats the end of that.

I made six orange plates with a black Isaac. I made one black plate with an orange Isaac. I made one black plate with a metallic black Isaac.
The black plate went to a member of the development team. It was not signed.
The black and orange plate went to someone here. It was not signed.
The six orange and black plates went to EA to be signed. Ian Milhelm kept one of them and five of them were returned to me, signed.
- I still have one of them.
- BS Angel gave one away at www.hawtymcbloggy.com
- Symmetric got one.
- The other two went to other members here.
One one hand, the write up is wrong, because there are five. On the other hand, since they're hand made and autographed in hand by a number of people, no two plates are EXACTLY alike, so the write up is correct.
Symmetric was in the process of buying some plates from me for the end of this month, but his car was pretty messed up in an accident. He didn't want to leave me hanging, but also had to get the car fixed, so this was his solution.
As always, I end up paying twice what everyone pays...:cuss:
Here is a last remnant auction with a starting price of 1/2 what I paid.
Ebay Auction:http://i1.ebayimg.com/07/i/001/1f/10/6c7c_1.JPG
I'm going to wait and hope they go even lower. This would seriously hurt me to get this one right now.

BS Angel at hawtymcbloggy has information about a number of EA sweepstakes with free faceplates as prizes. Looks like they're ALL NCAA 2009 plates (mascots? Hope so.) Some of the other prizes are cool too though, so check 'em out.

You guys have GOT to check out this guy's plates.
Check this one out. item=280291248090
According to the seller, this is an MS employee only plate of 2008 game releases!!!
Unfortunately, the plates look defective. I asked him to show a picture without the bubble wrap and he refused. I bought one anyway. Below is what it looks like.
The four color printing process was misaligned so the different color layers all have offsets. For all I know, the guy got his hands on a batch of rejects from the run of plates and is trying to sell them.
Just want to make sure people know what they're buying before they get disappointed.
If anyone knows how to get their hands on a good set of these plates, please PM me!!

Thanks for the heads up! I saw the one you won and the one he's offering now. It seems like when these plates start hitting ebay for the first time and no one has heard about them there's always a catch.
