As for beating it - you decide. There is one difference though - the one the photo will never come up for sale in my life time whereas the Trademe one is - I shall watch with interest to see if it sells. There are several chaps on this site or who troll this site who do have large nuggets which beat the Trademe one and it will be interesting to see if more come out of the woodwork.
