[meteorite-list] My Eyes Are Glazing Over- Need "Scorecard"

[Adam Hupe]

I consider myself a serious collector and NWA represents most of our
collection.  Some of the rarest, most scientifically significant and
beautiful pieces have come from the Sahara.  Close to half of all planetary
meteorites have been pulled from NWA.  If you do not collect NWA you are
missing out on some of the world's best material.

Kind Regards,

Oh, is it, that "serious collectors" don't accept NWA in their
collections?

Or is this rather some shitty snobist attitude?


Thank you for calling me a "non-serious collector". :-(

Well, this is one reason, why some serious collectors don´t
accept NWA:s in their collection.

I´m stil wondering, to be or not to be...;- Anyway, not the
best way to advertise these beauties - to make them as the
easter-eggs.
