And that's perfectly fine. I think everyone should collect for whatever reason appeals to them. I was just reacting to what I perceived to be a somewhat elitist insinuation that valuing meteorites which struck objects or towns is somehow not as sophisticated as collecting by classification, or any other reason for that matter. << Neither the Peekskill nor the Park Forest meteorites, nor the Wethersfield L6 chondrite that smashed through Robert and Wanda Donahue's ceiling in 1982 make these meteorites something special for most of us here in old Europe. >> OK, but I'd pose the same question: if it were to be "raining rocks" in Karlsruhe, would they really-and-truly be of absolutely no more interest to you than just another NWA of precisely the same type/cassification?
