    The baby went out with the bathwater. Literally. Different types of soap affect the color of notes differently and I forget the chemistry behind it at the moment. Soaps with a basic ph leave the notes certain colors and soaps that are acidic another.

    As beat up and cleaned as that note is there is no telling what happened to it and as such, I wouldn't consider adding any premium to it's value.

    Yes, I too assumed that is what he meant, but wasn't what he said. I had hoped he'd clarify.
