List,

You should take a look at the prices being realized at the Heritage auction
- Wow! Not many deals to be had and some very high bidding going on.

Very interesting. As a general explanation as to likely why some of these
have high bids:

- The $312k moon pieces seem to have 1 bid but the reserve may not have been
met yet. Still, at $175 per gram it may be a good deal if you have the
money.

- The mask also has 1 bid, probably due to good advertising, although the
reserve also is not met.

- The Seymchan sphere has over 20 bids!!! People seem to like spheres.

- The NWA 725 doesn't have any bids, it's just the asking starting price.
