<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 24696165, member: 106826&quot;]Eddie - we are so close to the weekend…woossaa!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Fair enough, many of these minor and very minor DDOs and DDRs struggle to deserve an attribution. I suppose that if we looked hard enough under super magnification, we’d have an incredible number of new attributions.&nbsp; Would these be any more or less meaningful?&nbsp; It depends on the target audience.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My take, adding attributions fills a need for the most discriminating variety hunter. It sets up a target that many others will never notice or wonder about. It can appear silly to less discriminating variety hunters…even overwhelming.&nbsp; Regardless, it serves a different audience. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recall a point where I was sifting dozens of single squeeze doubled dies, another favorite of yours.&nbsp; After hours of attempting to attribute specimens only to find a stream of digits and letters hadn’t been published, I began to realize that as common as these are that there may never be an attribution.&nbsp; Of course, value is nearly unaffected by such a minor doubling.&nbsp; Anyway, I toss these into random containers while others painstakingly look for attributions. Both approaches are correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I see many listed items that for the life of me, I just don’t see it.&nbsp; These are the frustrating ones for me. I’m drawn in and left scratching my head. If that’s the output, I wish it wasn’t listed.&nbsp; There are better ways to spend my time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
