Default For set collectors: Set scarcity

Posted By: E, Daniel

I kind of knew what you'd write but like reading your posts - so therefore the prod!

Make sure to write up a paragraph or two about what you now know and questions you might have re this issue, and stick it on a web site somewhere. What you and many collectors are doing in reassembling these obscure sets is creating a picture (or fair guess of a picture) of their origins that have likely been lost for 80 years, especially where the extremely short printed local issues or survivors have meant relatively few sets were ever assembled or kept.
If you decide to get rid of them one day one-by-one, any insights you've gained will otherwise most likely be lost.

Great stuff, my kind of collecting!
