Heavens, no! I don't know how the Henle plates got "liberated" but the B&H plates are very rare collector's items. My professor acquired it many, many years ago, back when the dollar was worth several Deutschmarks (perhaps as long as 50 years ago, in fact), and I don't know if it was expensive or not. But I doubt many of these (if any) are available today. -- David W.
