Hi John,

I generally apply the same philosophy in all other aspects of my life. Thanks for the kind advice and reminder here.

Best,

Kevin

Kevin,

: Everybody has their own evolving collecting philosophy. Mine, after
: many years of collecting, is that I don't buy compromises. Every
: time I have done it I have ended up disappointed and
: disappointment inevitably ends with the loss of money. Plated
: base metal cases are a huge compromise. Collectors know this and
: usually will not buy them...so...when you end up disappointed
: and try to sell one...nobody will want to buy it.

: Don't
