Now I'm really confused....There were Oliva and EPC Black Swans over at the Page.  (EPC is noticably better)  Now I see there is a JdN Black Swan.  So what goes?  I thought companies fought like hell over names?

Morning, twofers. Jimmy Kimmel is back tonight AND we all didn't get raptured. Guess we gotta deal with Tuesday.
Wonder what the ratings for that show will be.
My guess is fairly robust.

Morning, 1-3Dave.
Indeed.  Mood is not good here.  Looking at the bright side, my Laranja's will be well aged .
There's you looking on the bright side.

The copy makes it sound like Black Swan is kind of a catch-all name and then they release them via different brands. Like the Lost & Founds, but way more odd.

Never mind....I just read the description under this one....apparently the Page buys leftover stuff, like Caldwell but instead of giving them different names, they call them all Black Swan.  First one was apparently an RP.

Funny what you learn when you actually read the description.  I don't remember this being as clear for the other releases.
