You guys use it as a figure of speech "its a minefield", this is just an example to relay my personal opinion, i have experience in real Minefields, may which were laid sometimes 40-50 or more years ago (and still very active and dangerous) with little evidence or information about them available to figure out how to best clear them or take other appropriate action. The biggest thing you have to keep in your head is don't think you are ever an "expert", don't think you know or have seen everything and every possibility or every strain of a given item or situation. If you think in that way that way you're already a dead man and you have no business in leading people who are looking to you daily for leadership and action because the smallest piece of "unbelievable" or non standard non conforming information can be important in solving the puzzle sometimes. It becomes relevant indeed, and you can never think from "the now" , only "the then"....When you deal with potential life or death decisions daily the ego seems to slip away from the important study of situations and evidence, i'm sure that kind of thinking could be effective applied here as well to good use in a way. I have certainly never seen it all and never will. For all the people on here who have handled thousands of items and are a wealth of information i don't see the proper and correct attitude displayed from them that will advance this hobby further. Pink smocks for example, what an intriguing item as to what it could or could not be, why they are (maybe on purpose) relegated to the UFOs of SS Camo is beyond me for example. Just my 2 cents. Post the shot of the real cover from the book next to this one then side by side, forensically and lets study them. I'm very interested to learn and see because im not getting what i need from the current descriptions.
