Those daybills are incredibly rare, especially when you have three dozen
copies of them! (One Aussie seller I can think of, he's not a MOPO
member than I a am aware of.)
I'll put my hand up as a collector who *doesn't* search for items in the
category area, and sellers who list in the wrong category still annoy
me! Sometimes, novices (and even "professionals"!) don't list them in
the right category, you can miss out then.
