I picked through and got a plain maple top with some burly, swirly, nice anomalies for $25.
For the first guitar, it beats getting a bookmatched top of flame for > $150. I actually have another half a maple board left that would be good for making some bolt on maple necks with rosewood fingerboards.
I'm not a fan of flame maple anyway. I like the original '59 look of the plain maple tops.
Here is a pic of the band sawed and joined maple top.

Hey thanks.
Nice page on the PAF you got over there. I plan on winding my own PAFs as well. I've wound a few single coils already.
