Jeff has a fantastic point as usual. If people used to buy a tube per fixed timeframe at $35 an ounce, they should be buying two at these prices....
I have about 12 of these, but all from Ching Mai or Ching Sen. They come from about 50 other towns, but any others are very rare. Btw, a baht was...
Sorry, I was not assuming the piece you bought was fake. Just mentioning it for newer collectors to be wary. I am sure there might be some honest...
