[meteorite-list] A request for ALL dealers - please read! :)

[Ed Deckert]

Hi Michael,

What size card would you think to be optimal?  I realize specimen sizes can 
vary, and sometimes I may put a larger slice in a 3x4 Riker box that creates 
an issue with label size.

I'm still experimenting with label sizes, and would be interested in your 
thoughts.
