I agree with Mike. When you look at the vast number of sets that have been produced
over the last 41 years, what difference does a few make. I have a lot of old sets,
and nothing would make me happier that to purchase more of the older sets. I didn't
get them to make a profit, I got them because I fell in love with them! So the only
ones that would truly be hurt will be the speculators, which as Mike has so eloquently
stated in the past ... "the speculators be damned!".
