 |
|
This arrived in the mail today. A true gem for a memorabilia collector like me.
A real californian license-plate owned by a salesman at Intel around 1995. He was later hired by AMD as a sales person but his car still said "Pentium" which was a bit of a problem  . As a token of commitment to his new company he gave it to his manager at AMD (who i got it from), despite the fact that he was offered $3000 for it from an employee at Intel.
Thanks to John for re-shipping it for me.
