Hello Joe J., I was aware of all the mentioned scorecards, although I didn't get an early bid in on the Hunt example. Had I been bidding on final night I would have dropped out well in advance of $1,000. Should another one surface I will likely be bidding but not too aggressively, while very neat they are neat core to my collection.

I do not believe Hunt has a customer base with deeper pockets, many examples could be cited that turns this scorecard example upside down. The Hunt example is the first time in a long time that the N173 Goodwin ad has appeared.
