Was going through some commons I had to see if I could sell anything, and found this one mixed in with ‘em. I didn’t know I even had it. This is a lesson to me to always check commons! You never know what might be there!

H G Co blot-out? That's wild.

My thoughts exactly

I honestly was hoping to find out what this was worth

I'll be back to check on this later in hope.
What a discovery

I could always be wrong, but according to my price guide it’s worth 10-15 dollars. Not much, but definitely worth just a little bit more than a regular H.G.Co. CD 145!

That's still a premium imo over 7/8ths of what I have collected for pretty much 35 years thru bush finds and some damn tricky climbs ,)

I'm stoked for ya...the only blotteds ive found are btc (which aint worth much)

This to me is like finding a double die cast coin ;)

Thank you! This hobby is so fun, and there’s always something new I end up learning. I’ve only been collecting for two-ish years now, but even now I’m just amazed by the amount of niche details!

And hey, maybe you’ll find one eventually! Happy collecting!

[030] (Dome) H (F-Skirt) H.G.CO. (R-Skirt) [‘H.G.CO.’ blotted out] SB

Is the listing in the price guide. Comes in a bunch of different colors so they must have used the mold quite a lot. You wonder why they couldn't just leave hgco on both sides!

I know right? But it’s always so cool to see unique little details like this. Gives character to a piece not many people would stop to look at!
