Seller states they have kept it in a padded box since they bought it. Not really sure why or what the point of this was? Must make it worth more...

They need to put that back in the padded box & bury it,
that looks like it would be good for target practice

DB...$9.75 would be a little more reasonable
They would be better off buying one from you

For that price they could have the 3 variations of POLLY w/ postage included.

I also have 1 & 3 & have seen #2, but can't remember about the stripe top/bottom. I think it was Dave Ellis that showed/told me of the can. This the 1st time that I have seen the yellow outline can.
I TRY to get my cans as accurate as possible. But like everyone else I do make mistakes & really get rimmed! LOL

The yellow border makes the bird jump out at you-
Does the yellow border version have 2 parrots on the can
like the other Penn?

One thing about the $97.55 can. I doubt that anyone will question its authenticity.
