Last night's booklet appeared to be in better condition, plus it contained a few autos.

All it takes is 1 bidder in a thinly traded market to totally kill a price. I have even bought cards, 4 figure ones, lately for about 20%-30% of where they were 2-4 years ago. So, 10% of the price of an advertising piece doesn't totally knock me off my rocker the way it would have a few years ago. It's a crazy, mostly buyers market, right now....It seems like the market for this had 2 people last year...one got what they wanted and now the other got it. My guess is another that trades very soon won't do any better than this one did. regards
