Slightly OT: Señor Pico's - Collecting Tiki

For those who don't know, it is a chain (I think only overseas now) of Mexican restaurants owned by Trader Vic. Anyway, they had specialty drinks as well, including some of the same, like the Potted Parrot. The signature drink was the Pinky Gonzales, which was served in a souvenir glass that looked like the honi honi mug, only with some randy Mexican stereotype guy in a sombrero chasing a piece of tail around the cup. Does anyone have or collect these things? Strangely, I found the mug the very next day after never seeing one, and passed it up because I thought it was too pricey. Does anyone know waht would be a good price to pay for these? I might go back.... -martin
