Fred,
I should have known you got it, the master of dredging the internet finding collectible morsels from unsuspecting victims with pennies on the dollar.
"Young guys don't want Springfields and there are not enough of us old dudes around to make much of a dent in the market. There are lots of Model 12s and Springfield sporters just laying around out there because if it's not black or cammo it won't sell."
This brings up a more poignant subject. As Michael's collection has been scattered to the four winds I can't help but to think the next generation of buyers will not see the value as we do.
