Wow, that thing has some nasty pitting on it. Looks like it sat in a wet environment for a while in that one spot. I wish them luck, but I don't think it will go as high as some we've seen on the 'bay.

A fellow on gj paid $200 for one at auction, but it had good readable text, and he got some other odds and ends in there with it....so say, 150-200 range? (winging it, *)

From a certain point of view I suppose a poor one is worth the $60, but I think for something like that I'd rather save up and get the nice one....
