As I read this, I'm pretty much convinced that as I lighten up my collection because I'm approaching 80 years. It will never be through eBay, more likely through this site, and I will not send anything to addresses outside of the US.

Alan,
this country is a very weird place, but I wouldn't wager a red cent on the death sentence for the word you mentioned. Notice how I dodge it here.
Auction houses here move a lot of antiques containing forbidden natural material/s.
Federal laws often conflict with State laws and often never get straightened out.
I'll leave off politics now...
