Yes, for Something Over $100K, You Can Have Them All
In Response To: Cheap way to build a good collection *NM* ()

It's difficult to be certain exactly which are 18 KG, and which might be gold-plated, but I am guessing that the whole collection is worth well over $100,000.

The first time I was offered a Carrera Ref 1158, the "ask" was around $3,500, and the owner lamented the fact that he was underwater on his purchase. Yes, gold used to be "cheap", but not so today.
