Would or could someone play curator or librarian and describe or catalogue the photocopy precisely, with perhaps a suggestion of a date? The difference between an original Ray Johnson and a photocopied Ray Johnson is the difference between an original and a copy. An original copy needs to be annotated as much as an original anything. The word "xerox" is used generically, but when he had a grant of money, Ray rented a Minolta copier. Grays get greyed out on some photocopiers more than on others. Surely people involved with mail-art, hors commerce, do not want to commit the errors of sellers who blur the facts? Did Ray mail this paper to anyone? What is the evidence? Did anyone add anything? What? when? where? And my joke in 2005? to take a joke too seriously. I am aware of Canada, Eh, & from the $00.10 minimum bid, Eh, that someone who disdains auctions of Johnsoniana, or mail-art, is making a point, perhaps a Canadian joke about incongruent quantities, or the error in putting a price on the priceless. After all, only today, in Canada's worst air disaster, a two-seater Cessna 152 crashed into a cemetery early this morning in central Newfoundland. Search and rescue workers have recovered 829 bodies so far.
