    I saw this at a thrift store today, it was on sale for $10!
    I bought it even though I couldn't make out artist's last name - thoughts on it.
    At least I'm pretty sure its not factory art!
    Thanks all!

    Looks like Richie Savino to me, but I can't find any artwork with that name

    If you stare long enough at it on a side I see at least 4 faces squashed together.

    Thank you all - when I did an image search 1 came back as a nebula. I've sold a lot of Yes albums but never saw that one - now I think its by a talented/weekend artist who was tripping while listening to
    Yes & painted it?
    At least it's not factory art and that you'all like it - makes me feel better about it
    PS - Another cool find that I left in the car but will photograph when I bring them inside (I'm no spring chicken anymore & usually take a nap when I get home around noon) , is a complete(?) vintage polo set with a leather helmet, 3 cane mallets and these cool looking boots (they look like snake hunter boots or even old WWI or WWII military boots to me) - they had a price of $99 on the mallets & after asking the manager if they'd take $75 they agreed & I got everythingfor the $75 (even a polo ball! )I think the boots have to be worth more than that, but again I'll post pics when I take them out today so I can see what you guys think.
    Thanks again, you guys are the best!

    I thought mine might be handmade, but I haven't taken the supports out that help tem stand up.
    But! Look closely at what I found when I took a photo of the soles , I believe that's $999.99 US and - Size 12 !
    PS - Would you say they are in good, very good - excellent? (It looks like it has new heels nailed on?)
    Thanks!

    I thought that 12 was an R :D
    But if it's 'Size', that z looks more like an s or క :watching:
    It might not be US$, but even if it's a $ from another country, it's stuill a good buy.
    Except if it's in Guyanese dollars :smuggrin:

    Looks like "$99.99 y Size 12" to my eye. Boots aren't bespoke. What brand are they?

    Sorry. You're right re amount. Could be in any number of Latin American currencies, Argentina most likely as its where polo is most widely played.

    They play polo up here in VA and I think they do the FL circuit in the winter. Or at least that's what went on at some point.

    Very nice high quality boots. I viewed all the Polo boots on the Bay, I think you have the highest quality, sharpest pair of any. Some wear, but not bad. We don't give our nice stuff away, we'd list BIN at $395 at least. If it's a name brand (it looks like it is) we'd go up from there. We don't mind sitting on product if we know we're in the neighborhood.
