Collectors come in two groups (1) from the investment, I'll pay the price it dosn't matter, I'll make a profit on it when I resale it. (2) I want, love it, need it to complet the set, etc.. and depending on how you feel about it, got to have it, I can go without it, watch and see if the pric comes down, then that can also determine how much you are willing to pay. I have 9 straights and have never paid more then $10 for any one of them and they all take the hairs off my face, some of them need more kind words (and work) then the others to beenused a second time and that is were quality and knowledge come in to play. IMHO.
