Yup! Their description is pretty accurate. I thought that
there were only 20 artists who had 2 stamps each, but I'll
have to go back and look.
Also, as you probably noticed, Forced Exposure shows that
they have it for $15. Subterranean has it too, but they
send it to you whenever they get around to it. I've dealt
with them for many years in many different ways: as a store
owner, as a distributor, as a pedestrian customer and I'm
still amazed that they're still in business after 20 years
(one of their employees made the same comment to me last
week).
Anyway, it's a fun little comp.

pin-money: a phrase which was often heard in the law
courts,
when the question of a marriage settlement came before the
judges...
it arose as one of the attempts to do away with the theory
that the wife was a mere chattel and incapable of being the
owner of anything.
a husband therefore would "bind himself, by settlements, to
give his bride,
year by year, a sum of money which she would have a right
to spend independently,"
and this, which was for her dress...was called "pin-money."
the word itself
takes us back to the 14th century, when pins were first
purchased by women
at the fairs with money given to them for that purpose by
their husbands.
