Wow!!  This one slipped under my radar.  Thanks for the "sharp eyes", Steve.

I don't understand why this one is going so high, especially since there have
been so many recent ones sell for much less (even my two!).  :-)

I do recognize a few of the bidders as people that have frequently bid on
Phantoms in the past.  Perhaps they are finally trying to get one at any cost.

I Resemble That Desire Regards,
