Hooray! My lost note made it anyway!!! As it turns out, the ebay guy ISN"T frmo NYC as he said, but is from Israel, and thus the longer trek. After I bought this, My wife went to the east coast for a week and returned, I bought something from Boston and had it delivered, waited a few days, and then finally this came,and the Israel Post markings made it all clear... Made my day! and I've finally got this note in a decent grade... 'course now they'll be all over the place I'm sure.
