[78-L] Instant Karna

I'd say it is very similar , and helps collectors in that when people 
turn up a stack of ETs like this, if they assume they have little or no 
value, something important may be lost. Or they may also assume that ALL 
ETs are valuable, especially when they own them, but no one can force 
you to buy them. Overall I prefer the former situation.
