^ There's a guy on eBay currently selling one of these. I stayed away from it as it's pretty suspicious. Taking to different era designs and combining them on one pick just seems fishy to me.
Unless you actually saw your girlfriend catch it, I'm not sure it's legit.
I was recently burned by a friend who said his friend caught a pick (one of Ed's) at a show. I showed him the evidence that it was fake and now he's a little less than pleased with his friend about lying to him.
I think a lot of people will say they caught a pick at a show when really they didn't because it sounds way cooler to have caught a pick rather than buy/trade for it online. Unfortunately, that's where stories are fabricated the easiest and bogus picks enter the collection community.
Sorry if this sounds a little cynical. Just after getting burned, it's easy to take a very objective look at all picks that don't look "normal."
