Chris,
Per se is a latin adverb that is often used in legal documents. It has a variety of meanings and must be read in context. In the instance in question, I used it in place of "as such".

But that's OK, since I joined the forum I have been questioned and gently admonished about my somewhat formal writing style. So I am getting used to the odd comment.

Stan,
You made a good point on the starting price. Obviously the market establishes the final price but there is an obvious expectation inherent in an auction like this to have the price driven into the stratosphere.
What I find astonishing is that potential buyers fall all over themselves early in the game driving the price up. I expect to see that when you have a bunch of neophytes bidding on a cool item.
I suppose I find it odd that presumably sophisticated and not too mention well heeled buyers would fall into the same pattern.

My father once purchased a copy of Magical Mystery Tour when it first came out on vinyl, and lent it to his cousin who was a DJ. Well, the accidently printed the A side on BOTH sides of the record. They labled it proper, but it was printed with no B side. Well, the DJ cousin announced he was going to play a cut from the B side and put on the record...live on the air... and it was the A side. So he flips it over thinking it was a labling problem and same thing!
To bad my father got rid of it. Oh well...

Chris,
Oh! OK now I understand what was bothering you. It would seem that not knowing if there will be a COY is driving everyone nuts.

Paul I think you misread the auction description. It states Alan put the box away after the "paste-over" process in 1966 not after the record swap in 1986. I know you're a stickler for details. 
"Sometime just before the paste-over process was commenced, Alan Livingston decided to take a box of 24 sealed Butchers home, put them in his record closet, and pretty much forgot about them."

This stickler cheerfully stands corrected!
