An addendum to my review: I sold my M2 a while ago. Lack of lenses being the biggest reason. I was REALLY hoping for a new Heater cut that improved on the few shortcomings of the Heater. The shorter fitting stems were bothersome for me.

I liked them, but not more than my normal M Frames or the two Radarlocks I have.

I'm a big knife fan as well. I've been on a bit of an Emerson kick recently, but I own knives from; Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw, Emerson, Gerber, ESEE, and a couple customs.


I would definitely love an auto, but they're illegal in my state. I'd get a Microtech Halo and a Benchmade Auto Stryker.

I actually need to let a few folders go, I've got a couple lined up and I need to make some cash to buy them.

Any shots of the two sizes?

And when do they come out?

I know there's no frame across the top of the lens, but the huge vertical area above the nose bridge makes me wonder how well it will do under hats. The hat he's wearing at the beginning of the video looks like it's barely pulled down. - B3

Here's hoping for lens sizes. Though a lot of shooters don't use hats. Across most of the disciplines of shooting hats are really only common for moving competitions like 3-Gun or action pistol. I never got why EVERYONE thinks they need a hat to shoot. I've heard some people say it's to stop brass, but how many of them has guns that dump brass in the face?

THIS is what the M2 should have done for the M Frame.

Does anyone know a place that sells prints, like frame-worthy stuff, of good comic artists' work? I'm not looking for posters, but I'm not looking for $300 limited runs.

I love comic art. Seeing that McFarlane cover reminds me that I need to get something nice. Like a Miller, McFarlane, Bolland, or Gibbons. A little more modern and edgy.


Also, I've got a stack of about 40 books I should probably sell to make more room. Anyone want some graphic novels or trades?

The shoes not so much, I had a pair and wasn't a fan. The two hats I could do.

Pick your poison, we can work something out.

I have been adding a ton to my wishlist on Amazon based on lists of "the best" or "must read" comics/novels. Notice a few of them had "XX used and new from:" with prices at like $2.

Ordered a few. All are supposed to be like new, either unused with shelf wear, or minor cover wear. I've had really good luck ordering used books. Paying $15-20 at a time 2-3 times a month has been adding up.

X:Men God Loves, Man Kills for $3.50
Green Arrow: Longbow Hunters for $6
Wolverine: Blood Debt $6.75
Justice League: A New Beginning for $8

Anyone read 'Y: The Last Man'?

I'm a little less than halfway through the 10-book series and so far it's pretty dang good. Not a classic super hero comic, but a great post-apocalyptic all-men-are-dead storyline.

I can't help but think how well it would translate to a movie, too.

My graphic novel collection was 22 books two months ago, and it's now at 35 with a few of them being multi-book collections (not trades).

I also need better bookends.

Alright, breaking these apart to see what better interest may come.

Prices reflect rarity and condition. OFFERS ARE CONSIDERED.

Combined pricing below is $1100 (and the big ticket Dr Chop pair is missing from this). Package deals will reduce prices dramatically.

$85


Black with grey. Like new. $100


Rootbeer with gold iridium. VG+. $95


Tortoise with gold iridium. Like new. $100


White with black iridium. Like new. $115


Rootbeer with gold iridium. Good, lenses have marks. Frame is in good shape, crisp box. $75


Texas Tea with gold iridium. Like new, no box. $85


Crystal black with black iridium. VG+, no box. $85


Matte clear. Poor. Cracked orbitals. Lenses can be salvaged but show peeling. $25



Black with gold polarized. Good to very good. Very few marks in the lenses. $75


Black with gold polarized. Good to fair. Marks in the lenses, but none deep, still usable. Some of the paint worn off. $50


Black with grey. Good to very good. $65


Crystal black with black iridium. Fair. Frame shows some stress cracks, lenses have scratches and peeling. $45


Black frame, no lenses. Good. Needs some cleaning. $30.


Tortoise with gold iridium. Good. Lenses have marks, nothing too major. Some of the paint is worn. $50


Black frame. Good for arms only. Silver icons. $20

SEE POST BELOW FOR INDIVIDUAL PRICING


This was a labor of love for a few years, but it's grown stagnant for me and I feel like I need to move on. I'd really like to move it as one lot, but if there's interest I can part it out so long as the bulk of it gets moved.

All said we're looking at 15 pairs of the somewhat uncommon 'New' Frogskin, which was a departure from the standard Frogkins from 1996-2004.

8 pairs are unique colorways. 1 pair is custom from Dr Chop (Josh Steele). 6 pairs are lesser-condition of the first 8. There are 11 total colors available for these, I'm missing the White, blue iridium, Black, grey polarized, and Rootbeer, gold polarized. The Dr Chop is cut grey polarized lenses with a Jupiter Camo theme, bag included.

In addition to the glasses I have some spare parts, several boxes in various condition with some of the pairs, and 2 of the black plastic nameplates with the correct lettering and name - 'Frogskin', not 'Frogskins' (Frogskins with an S are the normal Frogs one thinks of).

I'll entertain offers, partial trades, and of course go into in-depth detail for anyone serious about picking these up.

Price is $950, shipping and fees not included. This averages to $63 per pair, not including the extras.








Potential trade items:
Romeo - looking for a pair for a project, so nothing NIB or too valuable
Mars - nothing fancy
Watches - TimeTank/MinuteMachine leather band, G-shock, maybe something else. Looking for the 40-45mm range.
Trijicon Optics - ACOGs of any variety (1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x)
Ammo - 9mm, .223/5.56
Oakley gear - Panel or Icon 3.0 in Multicam, SI Mk1 Mod2 hat in L/XL, Shoes in size 13/14

Open to potential other items as well. Partial, full, or add on my end all possible.

For the Ferrari blades, probably $400? $450 retail, and it's fairly easy to get a 15% - 50% discount depending on your connections.

The first picture, all of the pairs are VG to LNWB. The second picture is all lower, Good, fair, poor. They were intended to be used for customs, spare parts, daily/beater, etc.

$800 over 15 pairs is just over $50 a piece. The lowest I've paid for any of these is about $35, several over $100. So I'm probably losing a few hundred.

My gmail is the same username. Feel free to email me if you're serious and I can send pictures, videos, lengthy descriptions, whatever you'd like.

For some reason I like that a lot more than the standard OTT

I take trades. As mentioned, a lesser-grade Romeo to use as a custom base would likely cut this in half.

The list of desired pairs is quite short these days, though. Maybe an Inmate polarized.

And offers of other sorts.

Where are all the deep pocket people?

It is absolutely beautiful. If you do decide to separate the pairs, I will take that one. - oakleyglider

It's a Dr. Chop custom with a set of grey polar lenses.

One of the reasons I'm selling is to try and make room for stuff. It's not the money so much as closing the chapter of the collection, freeing up some cash for a few projects, and getting a free shelf and a half to move out of the Rx case and everything into the tower.

I don't have the time or energy to scour eBay looking for the last 3 pairs.

Those are women's right? - drbubbleeye


When these were originally out there was no women's line. So no. - Defenderoftheo

Correct. While they may not be the most masculine or aggressive, they share a lot of traits with the original Fives, Tens, Fours, etc. Which were not sold as men's or women's pairs -they were more unisex than what has been sold since ~2004 and on.

They're no more a woman's pair than the Frogskins one normally thinks of.

These are quite large. The biggest pair Oakley made aside from some of the recent blocky pairs such as the Big Taco, Dispatch, etc.


I'll take the Matte Clear... - Ian


Wonderful. If you find someone to buy the others I'd gladly sell the matte clear. But I'd rather not set the collection back further from being complete unless I can part out the majority.

Or... you can buy the matte clear for $950 and get 14 free pairs with it :D
