Dear Don:
I freely admit that $300 for a protector is not for everyone.
Cece spends a huge amount of time with you (in person or on the phone) taking measurments, having you select materials, getting the details down to crossed t's and dotted i's.
I also admit freely that you are buying a part of Americana when you buy from Cece. He is in his 80's, runs whenever he goes more than 20', and does the manufacturing in his garage. It is a true cottage industry.
I also admit that you pay, somewhat, for the conversations with Cece about umpiring over the decades.
When you are all well-and-done you have a story, a piece that will live far beyond the life of the artist, a living piece of artistry and a very fine protector.
Is it worth $300? . . . that is a personal value judgement.
Regards,
