leonActually, for me, and as luck would have it a few times, the answer is "I would not have found it on ebay or at an auction house." Last year it was the black and white Zeenut (thought to be unique amongst PCL experts) and a few years ago (maybe 3-4) it was Tom B. who eventually found me a, to date, uniquely known e94 overprint. I also acquired the D303 Chase (not unique but scarce and beautiful), the T217 sgc80 Daley (probably tied with highest graded), and the unknown caramel issue of Moose McCormick that was shown recently.....None of those items are seen too often, if ever. And I am sure there are several more I am not remembering........so in answer to your question, No, I don't really think I could find everything I have found at the National, elsewhere..... regards
