Now that you mention it, I do remember certain members stating authoritatively that they don't exist (though I don't remember who that was, or care). This seemed illogical to me regardless of whether they exist or not - how can you prove the non-existence of something? Certainly not just by saying "I would've seen them if they existed." So much easier to prove they do exist, and I think this does it.
I agree the ebay pictures are clear enough to say the holes are punched and distorted from bending, and the bend is definitely old shape. QED
Sure wish I'd bid! $12.50 is a bargain for this historic artifact - a veritable Shroud of Turin for Campaholics! (no offense towards Christians intended) Is the winner a CR member?
