Joey – I am going to prove that I have 38 good bottles! I didn't mean I have "really good" bottles, I meant I really have some "good" bottles.

I am behind on my collector’s weekly posts, and so I have tried to bring it up to date with pictures of the ones not already posted on the forum – these are not the best pictures because I don’t have natural light right now, but I had to set the record straight so you will stop saying I have collected a bunch of crap!  Tongue

I consider the following bottles to be my collection, not the bottles that I bought in error (which I am trying to get rid of by the way). If any of these aren't "good" bottles, I am sure you will let me know!
