Hello Roland,
Afraid? For what?
Everybody is looking for his own grail: Andreas for a Mickey Mouse figure, other's for a Hartmann K-4!
Anders said he was doubtful about this picture - secretly I am but for different reasons - others have money to spend to get it; why not?
If I had to be sad it should be because of the loss of informations for a picture which will never be published with good and right caption.
eBay is a good tool; let use it like that, at least.
I really think that we all of us are building - without megalomania and ego-trip but with our own defects and knowledges, experiences, research, documentation, insights and "speculations" - a huge data bank; "we" just have to be sure that this bank will be kept safe and accessible.
Frankly; I don't have the money to buy this picture: What do I care? Frustration? Yes, a little bit for one minute like many... But truly, deeply, I don't care.
Be good, Franck.
PS: I'm expecting 1200 Euros at the end!!!
