That box is slightly worse than my F AT box which I very happy to have. I would think that it is worth $10+ by itself, easily.

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

We got a box?



Is there someplace to get boxes with styrofoam inserts that correctly fit M's and F's (apart from the 122s) ?  Sitting on a shelf I suppose it doesn't matter too much whether they're in bubble wrap or styrofoam, but if the price were right might put a couple in decent boxes...

1 avid collector has had some awesome styrofoam inserts and boxes fabricated for the bolt-modded Model Ms he is selling.
