Grossman's report concerning the value of the Sentinel EPS

to be successful products because of the absence of any new
technology, the absence of a continuous source of suitable scrap,
6 Grossman and Lindstrom were also found to be experts in
Provizer v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1992-177, as well as in a
number of other Plastics Recycling cases. See, e.g., Carroll v.
Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2000-184.
