Hello Mike,

Thanks for the answer.
But would you mark the changed mass on the original card, or leave it as is,
or...?
I myself think "just" passing it down to the next owner would enhance the
risk of misplacing a label. The actual mass doesn't correspond to the mass
on the label anymore.

All the best,
Rob

Hello Rob,

Great question. You should always provide your own card (even if the weight
changes). The idea is that if everyone did this, and passed original
dealer/collector cards along, you could establish a *chain-of-custody*.
Chain-of-custody is an important component of provenance. As pieces continue
to be sectioned down or change hands, provenance is more important than
ever. With the influx of new collectors, we all need to set higher standards
so that this precious information gets passed down.

Cheers,

Mike Bandli

Hi Mike and List,

Concerning Meteorite-Cards...

I like to have my stone-type meteorite slices sanded at one side and
polished at the other.
After buying slices, they typically arrive as-cut. So I have to sand and
polish them myself.

As you can guess, afterwards the mass doesn?t correspond to the mass on the
cards anymore.
Assume I would choose to sell a slice. Should I stripe the original mass,
and put a new figure (plus my name?) on the original card (as I would choose
to do), or should I make my own new card, or choose even a different option?

What would be the best choice? Wonder if we could work out a preferred
approach here.

All the best,
