I think there is a reason these things are rare. Who in their right mind would save them in the first place, especially back when they had zero resale value?
I would be one of the to each his own and would love to own it. If I had the money I would be a player and think the Boston Garter strip is one of the neatest things in the hobby. With my resources I will be a bench warmer on it.
