There was an interesting post on this site that I read a couple of days ago talking about how there has been a slight trend to sell and collect globes that contain only one lens. The thought behind this, obviously, is that only one side of the globe is displayed. I'm not trying to come across with a "holier than thou" attitude but here are my thoughts on this: If one sided globes become acceptable does that mean that I should start restoring only one side of a gas pump due to the fact that only one side is seen? I equate these two scenarios as the same. Don't get me wrong, I realize that due to the increasing prices (value, which is good for our hobby) continue to climb at five times the inflation rate which means many people must limit the sheer numbers of globes they can afford. I do however think that "cutting a globe in half", for lack of a better phrase, makes our hobby a little less pure. PLEASE forgive me if I haved offended anyone with my view. Sincerely, gas pump freak
