Season 1 Coming of Age script and handwritten notes set on auction

I was browsing the propstore auctions and found this season 1 script of "Coming of Age". What I think is really neat about it is that it includes all the notes and the back and forth from the writers and directors on the episode. This is a lot more fleshed out than just an autographed script and it's a cool behind the scenes look at how an episode was made. The episode was written by Sandy Fries and features a Wesley Crusher plotline as well as Captain Picard.

Just thought you guys might find it interesting. I've never personally seen any script auction like this one. It even has an Emmy awards submission form with it. https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/361/lot/107265
 
As it happens I'm currently watching this.

Some rather annoying aspects.

One being the idea that someone as competent as Wesley (who the Vulcan had heard of), (who Wesley had heard of) or even someone like Jake (who received full training on things like hijacking shuttles) would struggle to get into starfleet, given the number of people that evidently do get in. Once candidate per planet?

The other being the idea that the enterprise couldn't simply move to get into tractor range for Jake's shuttle (or indeed that it's out of transporter range given that the shuttle was about to hit the planet and they could beam up/down to the planet)

For the script -- wow, the script was hand written, the notes were printed. I note the first "note" -- "Please use Microsoft Word".
