I was one of the bidders, but 57 pounds is just too much! The pick is gorgeous by the way and 100% I believe it was used by MK.

I love to find guitar picks time from time after concerts, last time it was Foreigner.

It says:
"As used by the man himself!
I got this off the stage after one of his concerts so I can guarantee it is genuine!
Thanks for looking"

Chances are it's one of many given after concerts which are not the one MK actually
uses. I think you can often find those on ebay for 5-10 GBP each.
They were also sold by MK news long time ago.

MK sometimes gives the (few) ones he plays to someone from the audience that he likes,

Is there a picture of this pick?

I've got two of them myself, got them from Mark in Amsterdam in 2001

I once got a Planet Waves one from Mr. Saggers (taken from MK's microphone stand) during loadout back in '08.

Someone paid 57 pounds for a pick from a guitar player that mostly finger picks? Interesting.

Just what I thought!  He's not renowned for using one so what's the point?  His thumb must be priceless!  :o
