Much of the mint stuff would be boxed, sealed and still wrapped. Some sellers have x-rays to prove what's in there, but without anyone looking, let alone touching. None of my gear would be worth $0.02 at one of these sales. Unless you're talking black paint, where, ironically, worn to hell is preferred. Baffling. Marty -- Want an e-mail address like mine?
