brian pHeck on a stick this message could have just as easily been placed in the best steals seen on ebay thread. My Type 2 R308 came to me completely by accident. A lot on ebay about three years ago was listed something like "Photographic card". I noticed that it was a R308, and I ended up winning it at the opening amount of $5.00, which I thought was a pretty good deal. Imagine my amazement when I received the card (my first R308) in the mail and it was huge--I had to double check the measurements with the guidebooks. Eventually I had to find another Pepper Martin R308, this time a Type 1, and pay over twice the amount to have the smaller, more common version in my collection, and in lesser condition.
So the moral of this story is always put a quarter next to your card when selling on ebay--that way people can get an idea of the scale.
