Hey Scott,
I hope you are well & interesting topic.

FYI, I typically do not share esoteric info about a scarce item that I'm interested in adding to my collection until I have done so. I might do it with a close collector friend, but certainly not a dealer.
Some of my net54 posts reveal info that I have been holding onto, sometimes literally for decades from research that I have done in the past.

There's no doubt that storing facts that are not commonly known can allow you to buy something really scarce at a reasonable price, which is pretty great and fun IMHO.
I hope you would all agree that as collectors we certainly overpay at times for scarce items that we are looking for.
I'm merely hoping to balance these purchases off with a few bargains...
