Yeah guys, the bottom line to all of this is collect whatever it is you like!! I don't care if the prices go up or down, honest. I just love having petroliana sitting around my garage and it is a lot of fun huntin' it down! Our hobby will be going strong long after we're all in that big oil field in the sky. Dodogas, I was at a sale last winter that had a lot of Beany Babies.(I was there for a Zephyr globe on a red ripple body) They were selling them BY THE LOT, 10 or 12 to a box, for FIVE BUCKS a pop. Yikes. My sister-in-law was convinced they were really going to take off and she sunk a lot of coin into them. Ouch....
