Editing The Pen Addict 66/transcript (section)

== Olive Green Edition ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I hate that edition.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Why? I guess I'm not an olive green guy. It's the color. I mean, it's the colors of it and the colors of the grid and the colors of the cover and the colors of the printing and things like that. I don't just, it doesn't appeal to me at all. I even put Expedition Edition above it. Just one step above. But those are the bottom two, Expedition and Balsam Fur. So it's good. I've had some good conversation around this list. And it's funny. You know, people say, you know, Balsam Fur is my favorite or, you know, it's just like pens. You know, everyone's got their own favorites and their own reasons for having it. And that's why, that's what makes this town of stuff so fun, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And I've been, last week we mentioned that new Field Notes group on Facebook.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Apparently they are in love, and I didn't realize this, with that yellow capsule edition that I sent you. That's like some of the people's on there is very, very favorite. So I still have a set of those and sent you one. So those have been super popular. I didn't count any of the alternate editions like that. These are just the basic Field Notes released colors subscription edition. So anyway. I've been enjoying that group. That list is out there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What? I've been enjoying that group.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The Facebook group. It's so much fun. I've learned a lot. I've seen some new stuff. It's a great conversation. I think since that group started, the eBay market has picked back up again. Yeah. Like I still watch that pretty regularly just to see if anything crops up. I'm not really shopping for anything right now, but I still like to watch it just to see what's going on. And it's been kind of down just with basic editions and standard edition that anyone can get from if they're shopping at the right stores and things like that. But it's picked back up and got some more rare stuff up there now. And I think that group has played no small part into it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have to stay away, man. Yeah. There's a Raven's wing on there. National crop on there. Traveling salesman. Day game.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' There's a Levi's on there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That one seems to be. That's kind of a holy grail one for a lot of people.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It seems like it. Do you have those?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't have those. I'm not going to pay that much for that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I saw a post that went for like $200.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. These are already like $177.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There it is. Yep. $177.50. Four days. 15 hours left.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Crazy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Notes along the road.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I just think I like. I think one of the reasons why I like the American tradesman so much is I like the whole red, white, and blue kind of layout and context around the notebooks. And again, that's a three color, three pack where each cover is a different color. One red, one white, one blue. So it's really well done. And using those primary colors, that just appeals to everyone. And especially when they weren't easily available like a lot of other editions.
