Dale The guy in Indiana sells on ebay, and has reasonable prices. If you're buying a few pieces, he's even more reasonable. And he seems like a heck of a guy. I found reference to him, and his shipping crate of PNG stuff on an old site from like, 2007. It would seem that almost certainly, he's the guy Swanky is referring to. Really beautiful stuff, all in pretty decent condition (expect SOME age), and like I said. Reasonable. You have to respect that, considering the amount of time and work that goes into bringing that amount of PNG stuff back.
