Off Topic Traditional Collection Quandary

That an impressive collection!

Not the most serious answer here, but if I am to be selfish, then I suggest that you sell them. ;)
That long pull clip point barlow in ebony(?) is talking to me!

You shouldn't feel guilty for having them if your family have what they need. It's good to have something of your own that you enjoy to spend time on.

By the way which ones do you not have? I can't see a rust red jigged bone sheepfoot in the picture. That's the only one I have in my 25 "collection".

I'm not able to post a picture of my 25, I'll just leave a link. http://imgur.com/Di6gsJh

Thanks for that reply, you make some excellent points;

One can burnout on not finding that "last piece of the puzzle", and with some of the 25's being a "one-off", the puzzle may never be completed.

This is very true, it was never really my intention to have the entire pie (apart from the 2012s which I thought was do-able

) one of the main attractions was the knowledge that the 25s variety was enormous. I think 'burn out' is a good way of describing what I was feeling about it.

AKC said:
I never set out to acquire for the purpose of investment, that's just silly. As pointed out, you'd have to keep them pristine and handled with white gloves to realize any kind of return on the $$$ paid.

Again, I did not ever intend any safe queens, like you I have put a good number of them in my pocket without really thinking about it too much.

AKC said:
I think you should just sit tight, enjoy what you have, and keep up the quest.

I think I shall

--- So I'll let you work out from my picture what's there and what's not, but seeing as you asked specifically about your rust red all steel jack from 2013 - I have the ebony version, but not the rust red one

And don't forget about the Northwoods Bullet Jacks, must not leave them out. You want to talk ridiculous $$$ these days? The one on the 'bay at the moment has serious issues, has been diddled with and I don't think the seller has any clue as to why NO ONE is jumping on it. :rolleyes:

It would be quite the feat to have even half of what you don't have, that's why I haven't given up yet...
 
Note to self, if I ever attempt to collect an entire GEC pattern don't collect 25's. There's so many!
