[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 132495, member: 1296"]I must admit now, there's one expression I hate with a passion and it can be found on ebay listings and such from time to time: "Museum-quality item" What does that even mean? Usually items described as such aren't really even special.. But almost unrelated to that, this popped up into my mind: An antique piece with a lot of damage can still have historical value, so in a way "museum quality"[/QUOTE]
