Syria 106c finally reappears on the market

The most elusive stamp in Volume 1, Syria 106c, has been offered twice to my knowledge this year. (My knowledge, unfortunately, being after the fact so I couldn't alert anyone.)

Cherrystone in July 2022 offered one copy as part of a lot that sold for $230 before fees:

Lot #1436
SYRIA
1921-22 selection of seven inverted or double overprints, some duplication, including 25pi on 5fr, also "25c" on 10c green (error), h.r., fine-v.f.

Rasdale had a copy in their November auction that Big Blue blog's reader Ray was able to acquire for the bargain price of $120 before fees. You can read more about that by scrolling down to the bottom of Jim's blog entry for Syria:

I don't actively search for 106c these days, so any new sightings would be most appreciated. (Thanks Bud for the heads up about the Rasdale sale.)
