This is a question I've been asked, and I'm sure the rest of you have been asked many times. Until now I've had no idea how to answer it realistically. Estimates by myself and others have run from 100,000 to 250,000 pieces and sometimes more. But (...) (21 years ago, 4-May-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
