Hmm, I wonder the reason for the sale, he doesn't ordinarily HAVE to sell one to buy one and I wonder what this will do to the collectable value of the litho, which I own? I am kind of saddened because he owned three that were close in serial number: snakebite, principal skinner, and Carmelita and the trifecta has been broken up.
