Man..I'll tell you..22 k sounds like a bunch but I doubt there is another one of these..heck maybe not another one EVER(INCLUDING THAT DAY). If I had a couple months to unload some stuff to hit the 22k mark or had the cash(if it was available)..I would do it. Thanks for sharing.
It is truly a Musium piece.
