LMAO! All the value in that apron center's around my signature.

#26 10 years ago

That apron has done some serious traveling. We need someone to buy it and get it out of this bad Craiglister's hands.

#30 10 years ago
Quoted from Darth_Chris:

hahahaha that makes sense. Too bad for that sweet apron. Bah Blondetall did not have time to sign it with her boobs yet. So no way it worth that much

Yea, I wanted to sell it to Blondetall when I had it but when the boob offer was made I had already reached a deal with the buyer . . . and didn't want the buyer to say I back out of sales every time a better deal comes along and I learn the true value of something. Little did I know the buyer was going to flip it to that darn Astucka guy . . .

Sorry Pinside, I let you all down.

#39 10 years ago
Quoted from centerflank:

What were you thinking selling it to Astucka? Did the Cashier Cheque he sent you clear yet? They can still bounce up to 2months later or something in that timeframe.

It wasn't him. It was another buyer who must have flipped it to him. Or, Astucka caught me with a dummy account he might of set up to complete the transaction so I wouldn't know it was going to him. Tricky guy that one!!!

Speaking of, someone just hit 100K PARTY!!!!!!!!

The biggest shock is that I beat O-din to it.

#45 10 years ago
Quoted from Jetzxi:

My buddy near Sacremento texted me earlier that it appeared on his local Craigslist ad too. I haven't had a chance to look for it though.

So the apron is spamming Craigslist all across the country? I missed that initially.

#47 10 years ago
Quoted from centerflank:

If I am ever able to reclaim this, I do solemnly swear to bring on my travels to all pin parties!

Sounds like you are suffering from a little bit of seller's remorse. We do need to figure out how to get it back from this rouge . . .

#52 10 years ago
Quoted from nate1981s:

can someone explain the history of this?
Did this start out with someone actually thinking it was worth over $1000 and who signed it?

Well, I was once the proud owner of this thing...many a moon ago...well, two moons ago. Here was my thread with it:

http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ft-amazing-unique-tron-apron-one-of-a-kind

Centerflank and the Dude also had their own threads with it. Now some dastardly rouge has the apron and it may never come back to Pinside at all. It apparently is traveling the country.

#59 10 years ago

Not to go totally off topic, but speaking of Tron aprons, does anyone still have a link to the thread where the guy was selling those chromed out aprons for the LE? I thought I saved it as a favorite but can't find it. Thanks!

#62 10 years ago
Quoted from Darth_Chris:

FS Stern LE Chrome aprons $210 shipped - three pre-orders left 7-9-13
here you go

No link, please repost. Thanks by the way, I want to order one of these suckers ASAP!

#67 10 years ago
Quoted from trilogybeer:

Hey Tigerlaw25 look what I found in your Avatar . A cartoony bee and a face .

LMAO!!! That is freaking awesome!!!

#69 10 years ago

Really wish I could get my hands on it and bring it to a wrestling event. Ring side seats so I could give it to The Undertaker so he could bash Triple H with it

That would be so flipping awesome!!!! Anyone remember the very first Hell in a Cell match back in 96 I think it was?

Hell.jpgHell.jpg

#76 10 years ago

Shawn Michaels HBK
Kane's first appearance

Famous match. HBK was the "European Champion" at the time and the match was not for the title. Was my all time favorite match till the two epic Undertaker/HBK Wrestlemania bouts. Wrestling just wasn't the same after HBK retired after the last one.

I sure miss the old wrestlers.

#78 10 years ago
Quoted from Darth_Chris:

Same here but my older son is crazy about wrestling, so we watch it very often but I keep telling him stories about THE OLD DAYS and after we get back from commercial with a match of 3 no names versus copy paste Goldberg.
Even my son keeps asking : will the undertaker or Triple H wrestle tonight dad ?
Don't think so baby. Once this year if we are lucky.

Yea, I think I ruined wrestling for my son (now a teenager) when I let him start watching the WWF/E videos of the attitude era and DX. He didn't want to watch RAW anymore or the current pay per views. Was only interested in seeing Edge, HBK, Undertaker, Stone Cold, Hardy Boys etc. The PG rating hasn't done WWE any favors either.

Sorry to go so far off topic gang. Back on topic, has anyone seen the apron appear on other craiglist sites? Any new postings from it dastardly owner?

#81 10 years ago

Telling you guys, it's gone.....we need to start a new one.

You really think it has ran off and has gone into hiding after becoming self aware?

#86 10 years ago

Don't get me wrong this Tron apron is awesome but if I was going to spend this kind of money on one I would likely go with something like this

As I mentioned in the Tron LE for sale thread, the Dude hasn't been himself since his exposure to the Apron of Destiny.

Quoted from Jetzxi:

I set that damn apron down for 1 second and she gone..............

I'm telling you, it's self aware...no other explanation for it.

#102 8 years ago

I loved my time with the Apron of Destiny. My journey with it can be relived here:

Wish I didn't trade the sucker for Shasta!

#104 8 years ago
Quoted from Erik:

What flavor Shasta?

Grape and cream soda both!!! It was hard to pass up on...

Quoted from Nevus:

At some point AOD needs to go to HEP so Chris can take some pictures of it's god like perfection. Only through close study can't HEP hope to achieve such quality.

The Apron of Destiny is perfection. All of us can only pursue it.

#135 7 years ago

I can't wait to see AoD's passport with all these stamps it must be getting.

#137 7 years ago
Quoted from labnip:

Half off aprons & flanks ?!?

Aren't you in Mexico right now? Shouldn't all your posts be in Spanish?

#143 7 years ago
Quoted from Mudflaps:

Here's the AOD and a rock

I was hoping you'd get a picture of AoD and The Rock!

Quoted from Mudflaps:

Day weekend from the AOD, currently residing in southern Turkey.

Very cool! Hope you guys are having a good time in Turkey, I've never been out that way but it is on my short list of places I want to go.

#161 7 years ago

The real question is, where will the AoD end up next?

#177 7 years ago
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:

I've decided that when I get a high score on a machine and I get to enter initials, I'm gonna start entering AOD

That's hysterical. I think doing that on Tron for sure would be appropriate.

I'm sure it will make it. Let's just hope it didn't get mailed to pmWolf, he has a golden that looks suspiciously like a mail eater.
