This makes me feel a little better…

…about my weird Moleskine obsession.

You know, because obsessing about pencils is weird.

Pencil collectors and users have been scarfing up and hoarding Blackwings since about 2001, when stock supplies began running out. By December 2002, prices exceeded $250.00 per dozen in venues such as eBay, and this trend continues today in 2004. In today’s marketplace, pencil companies are trimming their product lines, and some of your present favorites may one day disappear. Stock up now!
