What's even funnier is that someone might actually buy them.
I've been playing (well, playing at) guitar for 40 years and doubt if I've spent $5 total on picks in all that time. One of my favorites until recently was one I cut out of a 7-11 soda pop cup. If you count the purchase of the soda, add another buck to that total. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I've been using the Adamas picks since they came out. I bought 3 and over the years I have misplaced and found them again many times over.
People ask "how could you have the same picks since the 80's??" it's easy. When you pay $5.00 for a pick, you DO NOT loose it.... period. |

The pack contained white and blue OFC picks, a couple of 'A' graphite picks, an ivory pick and a cool keyring pick holder. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I've been using the Red Bear picks lately. They are the synthetic tortis. I loose them almost as easily as the cheeapo plastic ones, but they're about $20 a pop. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | I just bought one of the graphite Adamas picks, as a GAS outlet. Surprisingly, its really good for single string picking - slides over the strings really well, without the flex of a thinner pick.
I prefer the Dunlop .46s for strumming. |

| I just checked the stash/pick box and I still have about 2 dozen of these,
on some of them the mold marks/seams are a little ragged, but I just use an emery board on them and round them over.
I have always preferred a stiff or thicker pick when playing...(that's what she said)... and I like that the graphite picks don't seem to color the tone and are neutral when playing using them,,, at least to my ear.
if anyone is interested in one of these, I'd be willing and happy to pass a few more on, just shoot me your address and I'll get it out to you.
so for the next 6 or so pms marked Adamas Pick with a name and address I'll be happy to send you one...
Muzza... while I have sent out care packages like the one you describe to many members which include the Adamas and OFC picks .... I don't think I've sent anyone an Ivory Pick, or keyring tho I do have an Ivory one made of wooly mammoth/mastodon tusk with an abalone dot inlaid.
it must have been Bruce aka Noah... he's nice like that.
