.......But the glory is in the struggle where the chase of cobbling together the collection is the actual reward.......

I'm just a dragon sitting on my hoard.
Most people would have little or no interest in my "treasure".
That said I tend to be a bottom feeder and if I find a bargain I will often buy it and ebay or craigslist or whatever.
Guns, books, old fishing stuff, decoys, anything else I like

A lot is nostalgia. But that often spawns true interest. For most collectibles high prices set in sort of ruins the fun. This can happen with multiple types of collections owned by an individual. And it doesn't matter whether they are gum wrappers or double shotguns!

Take Puma blades for example. Previously made in Germany. Then assembled in Spain. Now probably made in Southeast Asia. I want the Boys Ellenburg to well know the difference.

]Does a true collector collect expecting a return on their money ? I once had a collection of bird's nests. Lost'em somewhere growing up, but I do not remember any return at all...Geo George I see now where your interest in collecting tOmato stake shotguns originated.
