Thank you Tobi and Juan.
Outside of seeing the specimens in person, I don't think there's a better way to display these. ESPECIALLY for the people who don't have the opportunity to visit all the big shows, this is the next best thing.
I completely agree with you. It´s the best way that I have seen to display specimens not in person. The only thing that I want to tell you is that it would be interesting to add the dimensions of the specimens, for example in the down-left corner or at the beginning with the text of the locality.

We hoped for, and won, the copper in copper vug. And we really enjoyed bidding on, and winning, quite a few others. Your videos of the specimens helped us determine what pieces to really go after, thank you Bryan! _________________ Minerals you say? Why yes, I'll take a dozen or so...

So you were Mr. and Mrs. Blue? and you were the woman the auctioneer thought was bidding for her husband not herself? _________________ Siempre Adelante!

So do we know anything about Hoppel yet? Jim Walker has been mysterious about this amazing collector who appears to have operated totally under the radar. I am sure I am not the only one who is dying of curiosity. _________________ John S. White

John-
Mr. "Hoppel's" identity is known by many, particularly the dealers he bought from. I would have preferred that HA had put up the collection as being from an anonymous collector rather than make up the provenance. Since he wants to remain unknown, I won't "spill the beans". As always the specimens speak for themselves.

I agree, leave it anonymous. But I will certainly add THEIR real name, since his wife might like some distinction there...when I do labels, but not till the three auctions are done. The next is in October. Number 2 of the three. _________________ Minerals you say? Why yes, I'll take a dozen or so...
