This Project will not dip into the MPOD archives so the Caretakers will appreciate anything you can contribute.

To reserve a date just let us know. Thank you in advance :)

Beautiful, mostly crusted, 36.3g individual of Allende. When I saw the crust on this piece, I just had to have it. Purchased from Gary Swanson who purchased it from Blaine Reed. Enjoy!
