Steve,
I was lucky enough to scarf-up a 491g fully crusted individual of NWA 
791 (L6)  from the Hupes last year at the "Bloody" Tucson auction last 
year.  Packed with dark crust and thumbprints galore....a nice beauty 
indeed.  I feel I was quite fortunate to be the high bidder of this 
stone at such a low price (which won't be disclosed).  Thanks Greg and Adam.

Best to all,
Dave
