Yeah, and I wouldn’t give Mallery a single cent for any of it unless he can demonstrate that Andrew Topping actually paid the executors of the Symbolics bankruptcy for it; if not, it shouldn’t have been a part of Topping’s estate.
I absolutely do not understand why Mallery is just sitting on it instead of making it available to everyone. It has zero non-historical value. Just put it out into the world and let it be examined as the historical artifact it is.
(That was my plan when I learned of Topping’s death. Unfortunately, Mallery beat me to acquiring it, and then just planted his ass on it.)

- rewmie 3y agoThe potential value of an investment is in the eye of each investor. You believe beanie babies are a better investment, but Mallet might not agree with you.
