...maybe that's why it's a "collectors item".

My first reaction was 
.
But, I'd love to hear from someone who was around GM at the time. Corporations do all sorts of little "kickoff" goodies. This might actually be something circa 1990 or so, in which case it would be a cool conversation piece.

I was in fact born on a Tuesday, but it wasnt last Tuesday.
In spite of that, is it possible that it could have been something made up back when the C5 was in development prior to a seperate C5 logo being established ?
I guess anything is possible, oh well.

Same here - maybe it was a developmental piece that never made it into production (thankfully).

He states in the ad that this pin was made while the C5 was being developed.

I wrote the seller to ask if he has an extra 21st chromosome and if not and has no other valid excuse as to his retardation to please go drink something from under his kitchen sink.

I sent the seller a note requesting more info on the history of this pin. I really hope you were just making a bad joke. This sort of comment makes us look much stupider than the seller would ever look...
