Yes, it also sold for a reasonable price.
I didn't appraciate the rough surface.

Yes, the surfaces are rough; but you know that these so rarely show up on the market that these little issues are easily overlooked.

For those not watching, it sold for $265.07; which I agree, given the rarity, was reasonable.
