Your right on that between the pickers and pawn stars , even out in the Ozarks of missouri some of the stuff is outrageous , I have found a older collector that has had his collection for years and understands the sickness of the petrol bug once it bites and he I guess feels my pain as a new collector and has been giving me some really good deals, it's sad but true this is the only way a new collector will ever be able to remotely afford , is if you get to know the older guys that have had their fun with their collection and like seeing new collectors carry on the hobby , thanks to all of you out there like that.
