Actually, it's a very good question. Erickson did not say, I guess it means "times", for example, 4x Persian contract C96 is 4 times more scarce than basic model Wartime Commercial.

Does that mean we are supposed to see 1 instance of Persian for every 4 instances of Wartime Commercial on market?? I have met probably more than 1000 Wartime Commercials for sale....by 4x rule, in theory, I am supposed to see about 250 Persians, if not 250, say, 200, or, even 100 Persians are supposed to be met?.... no....no... the actual number is fewer than 10.

So, how did they summarize this chart is still a myth to me. Any thought?

Congrats on the new additions Alvin. I was watching that last Julia auction very closely. I was being prodded by several friends to bid on the Turkish Contract but $27.5 k was more than I wanted to go. Plus the buyer's premium and internet bid premium gets me fuzzed up to begin with.

No the time wasn't right for me to bid on anything, I was interested in the System Mauser pieces as well as the 20 shots but other than watching I knew I wasn't going to bid.

I've been expanding my armor collection ( remember 1:10 rc armor ) and I just agreed to purchase a another lathe and Bridgeport mill. So money flew off on its own.
