Hello,

Sorry, I feel I need to clarify this -- do you really mean "swaps" as in
"trades" or do you possibly mean "swabs" as in related to "samples".  I
think this piece of crucial information is necessary before we open
discussion on this.  Also, could you describe the format/presentation of the
piece?  Is there a photo online that you can link to?

Regards,
Milena
