Message:: [QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2437314, member: 76863"]The type set type of collector seems to be becoming far more the norm than the exception now a days.  Makes sense to go to for the "keys" or the "best one" when you are only going to have one or two of them.  I find myself agreeing and disagreeing at the same time with the point you are making.  The part I disagree with is that many of the current buyers are likely to change their views on those keys.  They grew up with them being the keys, spent their collecting time with them being the keys, to most they are the keys.  I don't see that much changing with most of the collecting base right now given how much we all know that collectors love change lol.  But I do completely agree with the notion that some of these keys really aren't and the internet has exposed their availability front and center.  I could very easily see the perception of these "keys" change over time with newer collectors and collectors who do a large part on the internet especially.  It's hard to defend that something should be the key when I can find hundreds if not thousands in five minutes online yet other dates may take me 6 months or longer to locate a nice example.  Over the long term I have a hard time believing that key status will hold for the long haul.  We may all be gone by the time that perception change occurs, but I do think it will happen.[/QUOTE]
