I bought them basically sight unseen. The day before they'd been $1 a tray and I'd walked away figuring I'd bought enough when I found two old albums. Then all night I kvetched that I hadn't bought them. Next day I went back and they were 50 cents a tray. At that price, even if there was only one good shot a tray, they were a bargain.
