I've had a rough time posting tonight, too... and those of us who have tried know exactly what Alan went through.

They are mostly general-type auctions, David, but there has been so few in the last four years that actually have the high-denomination vintage material I seek... and there seems to be a lot more of the metal pieces being available lately. I've done a lot of trading with European collectors in the past, too...and I've had some pretty good pickers working for me throughout the UK and Europe.

Thanks to all for the kind comments.
