As for that CD - well, someone will buy the lot, then become very disenchanted with meteorites when they realize what they have done. As for my personal collecting interrests, with few exceptions, I can't say that I have been interested in anything with the designation, NWA - XXXX. I like meteorites with stories behind them. Interesting ones from a scientific, historical or cultural perspective. I recently got the most calcium carbonated crusted Gold Basin you have ever seen and I love it. I have added it to my "teaching collection" as a great example of a highly weathered meteorite (not all finds are in pristine condition, you know :-) and I like it better than any NWA/Morocco/Saharan/unclassified/possible transported/ meteorite I have seen. Now, I realize that others may not share my collecting interests and that is wonderful. It's nice that we live in such a diverse world with people who have different predilections. As for selling, I won't be selling any NWA unclassified material, either by the gram or kg.
