That's just the thing. Meteorite Men is a great hit. It has a lot of new followers. These pieces have a lot more going for them besides the fact that they are an extremely popular fall. They were found by Steve during filming. They are going to hold a higher value, especially if the collector keeps all the records and weights in tact. Warren Sansoucie
