Retsy Series 1 · Card 0233 · 80-TEC
Important people call from traffic.
A cellular phone that lived in a padded shoulder bag with a coiled cord and a battery heavier than a lunchbox.
The story · 1988
The Bigshot zipped into a navy bag with a car antenna that stuck to the roof by magnet. Dads made a show of answering it at red lights, even when it was only Mom asking about milk. Calls cost so much per minute that every conversation ended with someone shouting, hang up, hang up, this is expensive!
The bag had a pocket for business cards, a pocket for the antenna and absolutely no room for anything else.
Six finishes
Bigshot Bag Phone comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
