I've been meaning to say something about this.  Paul Mawhinny is no 
yokel.  He is a well known and very knowledgable collector, researcher, 
and dealer.  He also was not seeking $28.5 million, it was more like 
$2.85 million -- actually really about $2.0 million.

It would be more like Elijah bringing them!

While your milk boxes are famous, I can't believe that they are even 
your PREFERRED method of storage.  If Paul's collection came with all 
the shelving -- and that was one of the offers -- you would turn down 
the shelving and use milk boxes??????!!!!!!

But actually, more than half of the collection was 45s.  Maybe only 15% 
were 78s.
