Met a friend in a store today; her CI collection was fantastic 20 years ago, so I asked about it. She is gradually downsizing, and commented that she had sold all her Griswold pieces some time ago. They went to an experienced collector somewhere west of the Mississippi. The man wanted the items he bought shipped UPS in large boxes; she demurred; he insisted. I know she and her husband were very diligent in packing, but 2 items were indeed broken in transit. One of them was a store skillet display rack; not likely to see another one of those! The items were insured, but that isn't much comfort when such rare things are involved. I say: "stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward!"
