I couldn't agree more! I buy every graded Ithaca I find that is in decent shape. Just got a 20 ga. 7E 2 barrel set with all the options. BUT, don't let the word out, at least not until we get all we can manage! In my concerted opinion, its like buying Microsoft stock on the first day of issue!! Lack of positive hype, not many graded ones around and lack of knowledge (Ithaca collectors are not much on PR) are contributors.
