Hi Kieron, All, Looks to me like one of the Martian individuals going around that can be purchased at a much lower price because it has not been put through its paces and properly classified and paired with that number or all the other numbers I have seen. The presentation looks really crude too...badly photoshopped label and knifed hole.
I wonder what provenance has been checked buy the auctioneers?
