Reply:I like the supervisibility also (ones in blue paper, not the current ones in plastic).   I use a #11, w/ sunglasses.   I saw a #11 on ebay lil over a month ago, on bid.    It final selling price was 150., and it was used w/ scratches and a chip out of the corner.     I've still got a few never opened.   Now, I'm almost afraid to use them.    They sold for about 3 dollars about 7 years ago.    There is no other object, real estate, stocks, etc.  on this earth, that I can think of that has increased in value 50 to 75 times in 7 years or even  a lifetime.
