The Ross Perot Foundation is selling one of the few original copies of the Magna Carta signed by Edward I in 1297. I know, originally King John put his seal to it, but it didn't become English law until over 80 years later, and signed by Edward. On December 18th, start your bidding, if you have 20 to 30 million dollars.

Maybe I'll respond to that Yahoo email I have offering me the job as the person who puts the thousands of dollars in my bank account, then I keep 20% as my commission and send the rest back Western Union. YAY! I can make enough to buy ALL the copies in just a matter of weeks! Laughing

It amazes me how good the condition is of many medieval documents from this time, when scholars are racing to preserve the original Declaration of Independence from 1776. It is fading away.
