Bob and Mark,
Sorry if it came across as if I were objecting to Mark's auction - nothing could be further from the truth. Stevan just asked whether the drawings could be made available without the hassles of e-bay, and I wanted to point out that many of them are, in quality print on glossy paper, in VBQ.
Of course, I applaud anybody else providing resources to classic bicycle enthusiasts - in fact, Chuck's offerings were mentioned in the last VBQ along with others.

He guys,
Why the objections to Marks auction - at a starting price of circa $3 + postage and little prospect of them rising much higher given that Mark makes it clear that they are copies, these are likely to be as good value as Chucks 'Xeroxing' catalogue service ! Chuck could run to eBay with all his orginal Catalogues, but why bite of the hand that (barely) feeds you ? and Jan, whilst your excellent publication is a good resource for Rebour drawings, there are a large number of those shown on the first page that Mark displays in his auction that are not in your Mag. That said, Mark you might be offering multiples with an appropriate 'Buy it Now' price...
What I would like to know is - what is that Fireball XL5 / Stingray contraption in mock carbon on the top left of the page shown in the auction - Alexandre Singer does Troy Tempest ?
