I know what this is like and I can't just sit here and let this happen. But I'm at a loss to know how to help, ZP. The bidding ends at 10:30 pm Eastern time in the U.S. I'd be happy to bid for you but am a neophyte at such things and might botch things. Do you or someone else have a suggestion? Heck, I'd be happy to contribute to a pool to just buy it for you somehow. Afterall, we're talking about a childhood treasure here.
