The basic fact is this...if ANYTHING exists in a reasonable number of
easily discerned varieties, SOMEwhere there will be SOMEone who
sets out to acquire an example of each! This has been further
confused by 21st century reality...which states that SOMEone(s)
will set up a business selling the aforesaid items at a significant
profit (and that some other <deleted? will publish an "Official
Price Guide"thereunto...?!).
