Hello from Jerry F. Bacon, I have had very good luck in buying rolls
from eBay; out of about a hundred rolls I have tossed maybe five.

I usually don't buy if there is no picture, and if there are any with
no boxes I also don't buy.  I have had to repair some with Larry
Norman's great tape and have had to make a few box labels with John
Miller's excellent box label programme, but this has been for only a
few.  I have been able to buy some rolls that I have _never_ seen on
the snail mail auctions, and I like the fast turnaround that eBay
affords.

Just be careful in looking at those descriptions, and if you are not
positive they are 88-note (if that is what you need), better pass them
up.

Good Luck,
Jerry Bacon
