Well, the tape is still a pretty interesting conversation piece to have on a bookshelf.

To get a chance to win this tape, however, you must send a message to (deleted) that says &#8220;THUNDERBALL FISTS!&#8221; The winner&#8217;s name will be drawn out of a hat.&nbsp;The name will be announced here on this site as well as on Twitter.
