This board has an inscription from you on it, not many other details. Just seeing if you remember the story behind it?

You're actually the second person to ask me about this today! I've never given anyone a board as a gift, so the note in the EBay description is completely bogus.

It does appear to be a Mike Keener board circa 1990. I have a Keener board myself in a red/beige color scheme, and I love it and have used it for years. (Although now it will have to share time with my spiffy new P-40 board.) If you buy the set I don't think you'll be unhappy as Keener was a great set maker, but I have no personal connection to it.

Thanks for the info sir. Maybe I can get a better deal since it wasn't really a gift from you!
