I own some of Mike's, some of Adam'/Greg's, and some unclassified. I think
they are paired but continue to use the "likely paired' caveat admissible by
the NomCom . I use 1929 when appropriate, "paired with NWA numbers pending"
for Adam/Greg's and "likely paired" for the unclassified. They all sell for
the same price, they are all purchased by the same customers. I wholly
concur that "likely paired" should be used in cases such as this recent
thread. Who owns 869, should be some royalties on that one. Focus people,
everyone is guilty of not following the exact word of the NomCom or EVERY
NWA METEORITE WOULD BE WINDOWED.

The dog, The NomCom, Chicago Steve, Frass...Welcome to metlist 2003.

>> Hey Bob,

>> I suspect my untested and unofficial material may be paired to NWA 1068

>> NWA 1877 because a Moroccan dealer named Habibi told me so.
