Now I know I'm a bit late on this topic, but it's just too good not to jump in! Personally, I like complete globes. I also understand some collectors are okay with single lenses. It's still America, and their right to choose, whether it's for profit or not. If you don't like the arrangement, don't buy! I've bought single lenses myself, and can't sleep until I find the globe it's matching mate! I also couldn't bear to split up a complete globe that was a KNOWN "All Original" piece (meaning it was found N.O.S. in it's shipping box). From a purist point, it no longer can be "Totally Original" if a single lens is sold, and the other remains. If I have to sell a globe, I hope to always be able to sell them as complete. Complete globes are they way they were made, but if someone splits a globe and it makes two collectors happy, then who am I to say it's wrong. I'll always go for complete
globes...It's just the way I feel...
