Jay Miller would also be #1 on my list but I was fortunate to study it while collaborating on the OJ book. The book gave me great excuse to study and view some of the world's best private and public collections including the BB HOF (nice collection of N172s and even more impressive N173s) and Burdick's collection at the Met.
There are still many more collections I'd love the opportunity to view. I won't bring attention to several private collections but will name the Edward Wharton-Tigar collection in the British Museum, London as a must. Some day . . .
