Default Gauging Interest in Corvette Wallets

I am curious if there would be an interest in these wallets...
If there is we will sell them for less than anyone on the web...$23.50
There would be 2 styles to choose from...Checkbook and Trifold...
These come with the C1-C4-C5 & C6 logos and most are available in black or brown...
sorry C3 guys it's not my fault they don't make em yet...

Here are the descriptions...
Checkbook Style...
Technically a checkbook cover, this practical yet attractive personal accessory does double duty as a wallet. In addition to securing checkbook and register, the Chevrolet Corvette Cover/Wallet combo has numerous slots for cards, divided bill compartments, and even a sturdy, zipper security pocket.
Finely stitched and expertly crafted of genuine leather, the Chevy Corvette Checkbook Cover combo folds thin and flat into pocket or purse. And to top it off, the Corvette Cover proudly bears the classic Corvette logo cast of brightly plated solid metal emblazoned in colorful baked-on enamel.
With “Corvette” deeply embossed into the rich, brown leather, this item is a real beauty.

Tri Fold Style...
Finely stitched and expertly crafted of genuine leather, this Corvette tri-fold wallet fits comfortably into pocket or purse. Practical yet attractive, this quality personal accessory has numerous slots for cards, a divided bill compartment, and a rugged transparent pocket for a drivers license. The Chevy Corvette wallet proudly bears the classic Corvette Logo cast onto a brightly polished solid metal medallion in colorful baked-on enamel. And topped off with “Corvette” deeply embossed into the shining, black leather, this item is a real beauty.

Here are some pix...

I bought one for my husband last Christmas and within a couple months the emblem had fallen off from him removing and putting it back in his pocket. How are the emblems attached? He loved it and was disappointed when the emblem fell off.

Well that doesn't sound too good
I think that if that happened to me I would have definetly got in touch with whomever I purchased it from...
On the other hand...at a couple of the other Gen sections there are guys that have had them and said they loved them...it's probably an odds thing. After all, some times a bad piece slips thru in any product.
Now please don't misunderstand me, I am not defending them as I have never even seen one or held one, it is a product I am considering and gauging interest in.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I am certainly going to mention it to the supplier and see what they say about that.

I'd like the wallet if I could get it with a big gold Corvette disco chain to go around my neck.

I like those too! I'd get one if you had them! Not fond of either Tri or check book style.

Since a lot of the money flowing through my checking is Corvette related it would make sense for my check book to say Corvette and have the logo on it.
