*** SPECIAL Mailing on this package of 11 picks,,, all assorted colors and gauges as shown will be by USPS newest Ground Advantage Retail Parcel Program at their Lowest  4-ounce Tier-Rate at $ 5.55 in the Poly Air-Bubble-Wrap Lined packaging envelope shown.

"NOW",,, What we have here up for your Buy-It-Now Considerations is 11 Total Picks as shown.

(5) of the COOL PICKS brand,,, known as the Cat's Tongue Matrix Accu-Grip.

"AND" (6) of the SNARLING DOG'S brand,,, known as the BRAIN Pick.

Now here's the Deal >>>

  • You get the 11 picks as shown & Photographed.
  • These picks are BRAND-NEW from My Own Personal Retail Music Store which I recently closed,,,  and Semi-Retired.
  • This pick is of the 351 size & style.
  • THESE picks are as shown in the assorted gauges and colors.
  • TWO .53mm GREEN,,,
  • TWO .60mm PURPLE,,,
  • TWO .73mm RED,,,
  • TWO .88mm BLACK,,,
  • TWO 1.00mm GREY,,,
  • and (1) Orange pick in the heavy 1.14mm. = 11 picks Total
  • Each Manufacture List the pick material as NYLON.
  • "I" do NOT know who manufactured this type of grip on this pick first,,, But "I" think it was the BRAIN company in Czechoslovakia,,, Jan Janicek ???  "I" have one of their BRAIN Pick Dealer box Display from series N.S. 1965,,, when it had Patent Pending on the display box ???.  And an online Forum Mandolin Cafe says this Brain pick was from 25+ years ago and that seems to be correct,,, 1965-2022= 57 years ago ??? Alittle Longer than mandolin Cafe thought ???  You can read alot of opinions on this pick.
  • "I" say from my photo's you can see 2-different types of grip MATRIX DIMPLE sections between the Cat's Tongue and the Brain pick side-by-side.  Different color photo's may have a better view of the different grip area shown,,, TAKE-a-LOOK.
  • Either way the GRIP dimple area is like an emeryboard,,, sandpaper,,, or a Cat's Tongue depending on your own interpretation ???
  • In-My-Opinion these picks are both comfortable to HOLD,,, Limited SLIP or SPIN in your fingers,,, They have a SNAPPY feel and TONE.
  • "I" personally put together this package from my BULK display cases for you to try both and see which you LIKE BEST ???
  • "I" have compared prices here on EBAY for each of these different brands and the breakdown is as follows >>> 
  • Cat's Tongue seem to sell at a higher price 6 for $11.99 or $ 1.99 each.
  • The Brain pick sells at 12 for $ 7.50 or 0.62cents each.

  • Therefore is this 11 pick assortment,,, (5) cool cat's tongue picks at $1.99ea= $9.95
  • and (6) snarling dog's brain picks at 0.62cents each= $ 3.72,,,

  • OR $ 13.67 for the 11 pick package.

  • Because ***,,, "I" Do "NOT" want any complaints if any of these picks show any signs of storage and/or handling marks being stored & Kept on top of each-other in this pick-drawer-cabinet or the factory display box,,, displayed inside my Retail Music Store.  They are BRAND-NEW just Like they came from Harris Teller my Music Merchandise Distributor,,, NON-used,,, NEVER-sold,,, all Brand-NEW AS-IS.
Now,,, "I" am offering this package of 11 " Cat's tongue" and "BRAIN" brand of picks here on EBAY as a BUY-IT-NOW PRICE OF THIS pack AT $ 13.67 +PLUS the USPS newest Ground Advantage Retail Parcel program mailing postage of $ 5.55 = $ 19.22 for 11-picks with shipping included.
