Um... speachless.

Hope Kurt (Darivs) does not notice this. He will probably sell his house, belongings and liver in an attempt to get his hands on that Type H.

Unbelievable. To imagine that a collection like that is being sold off is hard to stomach. It would create the basis for a museum that would be unequalled in quality as well as quantity.

Now it will be parted out and tucked away. Bummer.
