Three things to think about:

1)	Until the labs start increasing their throughput, it will be necessary 
to make informed guesses.
	"A rose, by any other name, is still a rose."

2)	Did naming irregularities cause the fall in meteorite prices?  How about 
the over-supply of meteorites and a bad economy?

3)	A Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of meteorite prices?  (I hope 
not!  Meteorites don't fall into such nice discrete categories.
	No one pays Scott prices.  Scott's catalog has a history of being used to 
manipulate the market.)

No time to discuss these now, but so often meteorite worries seem like a 
tempest in a teapot!

Cheers,
Nick
