HW: Sonic Attack Cloth Bag

[Mike Parkington]

Hey Jill,

How's about getting a photo of the single-in-the-bag, scanning it and
making it accessible via the web so's us poor unfortunates will get an
opportunity to see it?

Fair enough, no slight intended or aspersions cast. My question was from
the view of someone who deals in collectibles for a living and hey, I
sold a Batman #1 for 17,000 UKP, yes, about $30,000 for one comic so I'm
not suggesting for an instant that you overpaid for this one!  If anyone
doesn't know this is *the* rarest and highest ticket of hawk-items. (As
it goes, i'm a somewhat envious, not even knowing what it looks like!) I
asked because I'm interested in the mechanics and gearage of collector-
markets. And anyway, and more to the point as with any premium
collectible, it's not like you couldn't get your money back *anytime*
you liked.
Please accept my apologies if my wording implied an error of judgement,
as I certainly meant nothing of the sort.
