Re: [BKARTS] help with some paper pricing

["Jack C. Thompson" <tcl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

LeeAnne,

If someone were to offer me some Bodleian I'd first take a look at
the color.  Pre-1976 ('74?) is yellower than later.

If it were 'newer' (i.e. post-74-76) a price of $2/sheet would seem
fair.  The older sheets, if in good condition, might be worth upwards
of $3-4/sheet.
