Own
a piece of true B5 history with these elegant Jumpgate Pins! These Pins
have the honor of being THE first B5 merchandise ever offered to fans
of the show. They have been approved by J. Michael Stracynski himself,
who owns THE first <*> Pin.
Unlike
anything marketed by any large, faceless corporation, you are getting
these pins from THE original artist. This makes this the most unique,
meaningful gift you can ever give to anyone who loves the show. Learn
more about the history of the Pins here.
Jumpgate
Pins are lovingly crafted from genuine high-quality brass, then
professionally electroplated to create the midnight black effect on its
recessed background. A delicate lacquer finish is then carefully
applied to protect the metal.
Each
individual Pin comes in a gold jewelry box. A special Certificate Of
Authenticity nestles inside the box with the Pin. Each little
certificate comes personalized with your name (or your choice of names)
and hand-signed by the original artist. Find

In
June 2007, your pin artist was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was
treated in Portland, Oregon just before I moved to Southern Nevada.
Now, two years later, the cancer is back and has spread to the liver. I
am at Stage 4. There is no Stage 5. The tumor was showing some signs of being
under control as of last winter, and with your help, it could stay that way.
I
am being treated at Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada. I
will give permission to their resident social worker to talk to anyone
out there who needs to verify my story.
I
can give you beautiful Pins and you can help improve my chances at
life. I call that an even trade and I thank you for your help.
UPDATE #1: The science fiction fan community should all be proud of each other for
their tremendous, amazing
outpouring of support right when I really needed it. Thank you all! Read the whole story! :)
I
still have many challenges. Spread the
word
about the Jumpgate Pins, my friends, so that I may not just survive,
but thrive! Thank you all in advance.
