[QUOTE="Prime Mover, post: 1887199, member: 38783"]I selectively quoted, but the whole of your post I think was very spot on. I agree the Ike design is ugly, there's no real denying it. I really think the popularity of this series will hinge on all the research going on now with the varieties. This small series of only 8 years has so many different varieties and such a history of the troubles getting it struck and out the door that it becomes intriguing to follow once you actually start looking into it. This series may not appeal to the masses due to it's obvious design shortcomings. However, I'm not sure that it's a bad thing, nor am I sure that lesser following in this case is bad for the ability to appreciate in value.
