Hello Tucson Auction Enthusiasts,

I have no problems with the auction results being publicized, I say go for
it. But, like I stated before, it would be good for all involved (especially
new collectors) to have the disclaimer that prices realized do NOT
particularly reflect retail pricing.

Retail pricing is subjective as discussed here so it is a very difficult, if
not impossible, job to put together a guide that reflects all levels of
pricing. A guide that includes; Web Site 'asking' prices, completed eBay
auctions, completed Tucson Auctions, completed BIG Auction Houses, etc.
would be a guide that would encompass all levels of 'retail' sales and would
be a valuable tool for collectors at ALL levels of experience.

In the meantime, I support Michael Blood's auction and will continue to do
so!

Just my two lunar chips worth!

Best Regards,
Greg
