Thanks Gary.

You've got me worried now though. What was it that made the seconds, seconds?
I'm sure that I have the 'firsts' though. The gentleman I bought them from is, well, a gentleman.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope it heals soon.

Man, that's gotta hurt!

all cups have slight differences . Sometimes I decide they are seconds and they are not really and sometimes they are really bad. I just sold 3 sets of very bad cups ,Thee worse ever made. But they did still stack and went for around 25 bucks a set. Far less that they cost to make. Ideal for throwing around on the street when you are young and not sure what you are doing.
Lets be honest ,you do not need cups of quality to do a Gazzo routine or most others .
It's nice to have good cups ,I'm currently using a nickel gazzo set. I quite like using beaten up cups that look  like they have lived the life.
I think yours are not seconds as I hardly ever look inside the cups . So that line is just lucky to have made it though.
I'm buying an engraving tool so there will probably be some real ugly cups going when I try my hand at that, If I have hands left by then.

Thanks Gary.

I didn't know you were a Pink Floyd fan. I was a distant attendee at their concert at the Brandenburg gate. I was about
10 miles away at Peter Rückert's house. I didn't know there was a concert going on at the Brandenburg gate. I could hear them all the way up in the guest room. That was a wonderful time in Berlin. It was electric!

Bill,

I am a Floyd fan ever since I was 14 years of age. The last concert in the neighbourhood was in 1994 in Rotterdam and in Earle's Court in the UK. At that time I was 15 years and my parent wouldn't let me go. So I never saw a concert . And now there is no chance of seeing them ever again. I wish I had the chance of hearing them 10 miles away.
