This auction will be interesting to watch.  I think I still have a couple dozen of
these maps in a box somewhere.

I love the descriptions on ebay.  Most of them shout "rare", but this one says the map
is from the 1950's, and is a "nice, early example".  "Early" what?  The 1950's were
getting into the "late" days of PRC, and I recall that PRC was still distributing
these maps right up to the time of the PAT acquisition in 1964.
