Talking about the prices of plywood today... back in the late 1990s while I was still working, I worked for an export packing company that was located about 4 blocks from Georgia Pacific warehouse.... we bought our plywood out of Brazil, had it loaded in 20 ft containers and shipped to Houston sometimes via Florida and trucked, or directly into Houston port.... it was cheaper than going 4 blocks to the GP warehouse.... I coordinated the movement of 10-20 containers per shipment. Never knew the price we paid per sheet as that was info I didn't need to coordinate the shipment. One of the partners in the company traveled to Brazil and set up the purchase, then passed it off to me to coordinate.
The plywood was metric, but was better than we got from GP with fewer voids between the layers.
