Very true. I'm only making a fuss about this because of what the actual

Incidentally, I didn't save this particular auction right after it had

A decent price, really ;)
I have a definite (and highly self-seeking) interest in playing down the
value of Drash, because settling it in the $2000 area would put it out of
reach (for the time being anyway). Nonetheless it's probably correct to
say at least a half dozen collectors

Thank you for the long answer, Alexander.
As you apparently are from Germany, too, could you tell me where around
here I can find suitable mylar covers? To be honest, I never before
heard about mylar.

In my opinion the acid problem, while certainly a long-term threat, can

Interesting. So when does this period start? Once the product has been
