California Surprise Contest for 2022 Springfield Show Attendees.

Bring Cal go-withs or CALIFORNIA-made insulators for show and tell that I have never seen an example before: unusual color/CD combination, unusual manufacturing anomaly, unusual inclusion or quantity of inclusions, etc. and win a $10 cash prize from Colin Jung for each Cal surprise regardless of whether it is for sale or not. No limitation on how much you can win.
