You should have been in Denver, Mike. You would have been shocked to see how much uncut "NWA 1929" was being sold at low prices.
I am glad that I wasn't on the list the last month to witness the fighting over numbers. Perhaps, each newly found Sikhote-alin should have it's own new name assigned???? Or the new Glorietta? Or the new Campo? ETC. ETC. ETC.
