Some Baltic insect amber featuring a spider.

I think I bought this 20+ years ago for, like, 2 or 3 whole, part-time grocery store teenager paychecks.

It's a prehistoric spider in Baltic amber. I appreciate it cuz it's a cool little time capsule, although I'm sure the spider would disagree. I can almost confirm that I watched Jurassic Park and just got fascinated by the entire premise and took to eBay. lol

My question for you enthusiasts: Is there any way to reasonably date stuff like this?

I'm kinda spring cleaning and forgot this even existed. Just figured I'd share if anyone else thought it was cool.

Anyone else have this pillowcase?

It says it's copywrited 2010. I have zero idea what you had to do to get one? I havent used in years--but I used to--and my girlfriend couldn't f'n stand it. it was particularly funny when she would use that side of the bed and it looked like they were sleeping together. Good times. Just wanted to break up the monotony of a thousand Whopper pics.

Sidebar: I recently got back together with her 17 years later and I really should put it back on one day before she comes over and see her reaction. haha
