That pick has no playing marks on it, doubt it was used by Ronnie.
Now you know why the ticket prices were so high, Gorilla picks?

He could have used it shortly. Some guitarist go crazy throwing out picks, which is cool. I've seen Mike McCready use 6-7 different picks in a song. He would play a verse, toss the pick, pull out another, and so on. If Ronnie only used a pick for a portion of a song, or even one entire song, it wouldn't necessarily be scratched up. I'm looking at a pick right now that I've been using for about 2 weeks and it's not scratched up. It's a Dunlop Gator Grip and it even still has the complete logo/design still on it. Some of my older ones have designs partially scratched off though.
So it could be Ronnie's, but I don't trust buying things like this on eBay. Picks especially, because there are plenty of fakes out there. I've never looked into Stones picks, but there is a pretty big Pearl Jam pick market (because as I mentioned, they toss out a lot) and there are a lot of fakes. You just have to take a leap of faith I guess. There's never a guarantee, as you can't really get Ronnie to hand you a CoA when he tosses a pick to you during a show.
