Part of your learning , besides learning to spot varieties is to learn which opinions to place the most value. So yes, until you feel secure at making your own decisions, ask opinions and take them for the innate value based on your study and the person giving it. If you disagree, put it is a safe place with notes and pull it out in another 5, 10, 20+ years and give it another shot. By then you will probably have better equipment to use. The variety won't evaporate, it will still be the same, but your outlook on it may have sharpened. Many threads are just by people who want to know the possibility of flipping it on eBay and aren't really interested in varieties, just how quick they can pass it on, others are really trying, and time is in their favor for learning. As you have probably seen most of the possible varieties presented are relatively inexpensive compared to the time used to research them. Good for sticking with it.[/QUOTE]
