One of 799. So not all that rare then ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
8 billion people on planet earth, so yes it was kinda rare.
He has 800 of these things. They aren’t rare. If you have 800 of something that is called an overstock. Overstock is discount stuff. Like thrift store specials. A buck and a half for a shard. I bid a buck and a half for a shard of the one broken dog Ballon thing.
There are 8,000,000,000 people on Earth, soooo yes. Rare.
Well, that’s art… It provoked an emotional reaction out of someone LOL
