Thank you Alan for posting this academic paper.
I like figure 2 ;-). Pretty weird to see that I am a Australian collector.
I agree that referring to the forum would have been a nice gesture, but would on the other hand indeed be "the kiss of death" and bring the thesis back to a high school project level.
I am surprised to see 2 estatically very very poor statues in this paper with full credits and including a link to the website of a commercial trader.
But otherwise, I am very happy to see this new thread combining this thesis with other interesting threads, indeed showing a lot of very fine examples.
Thank you Alan and David.
Best regards,
Willem
