Been collecting since the mid 80's and it's difficult for me to accept the current day prices for things in this category. But with that said I have appreciated a lot of value in my collection. I didn't go into this with the mind set of "making money" more to the fact that I just dug it.
So, with that said if your concern is about losing money, don't do it. But if you're happy with the price and piece and just collecting because you like the stuff, go for it and never look back. The only time I look back is that one piece I walked away from only go back and it was gone. Les
