Defining "Vintage"

Rastionalize it all you want, it's still a page from a book. It Goodwin had intended the pages to be sold seperately, they would have done so. The reason dealers break up these albums is purely greed because people are stupid enough to pay a premium for a page rather than own the whole thing. It's kind of like selling of a book charter by charter. Sure, they might be interesting in and of themselves, but the whole is what makes them great. Or, I go step lower and compare it to those lovely plastic cards with bits of Babe Ruth's jersey or bat. It's just not the same thing when you don't have the whole thing. Something whole was destroyed in order to satisfy the greed of someone.
