A clarification on the report that somebody had purchased a Papal Mass Pass on eBay. Although the item eventually sold for $112.50 USD (the first bid was $50.00 USD), the important thing about it was that it bore serial #100, enhancing its collectable value considerably. The lucky sod of a seller could have purchased the pass for $4 CDN, but I doubt it. That serial number doesn’t fall into somebody’s hand by chance.
There is a flurry of Papal Mass Passes on eBay at the moment. Fortunately, sanity is reigning, and the price isn’t rising much above $4 on any of them.
