If it's been on your "want" lists for 5+ years, of course you should display it. Who cares if it looks old and used: it's supposed to! I remember a well-known dealer who isn't around anymore used to put out a catalogue of his inventory every so often in the pre-computer days. For condition description he would just say "generally used". Making note of every pinholes, edge tear, wrinkle and defect is something that newbies started with the advent of Ebay. I think it's nonsense. FRANC
