List, I've always wondered if it were proper to offer provenence display
cards in ebay listings. For instance, Greg and others, I've purchased a
duplicate specimens from you over the past number of years, since someday
when the necessity calls, I'll be able to sell one and keep the other for my
collection. Can one say it's "from the Hupe collection" for example? I've
felt that it is proper to ask first. What's proper?

Also, reflecting on hand-written cards...I love them!
