Fun spectator sport, huh? I'd've been left in the dust on that one: was thinking to leave a proxy bid ~$225-275. Bet it was in better condition than Frank's cautious "unseen" assessment.Still only got a photocopy of the 2nd, but know I didn't pay that much for the 1st which makes it a bit more difficult...
