Perhaps if collectors stopped settling for or accepting that many so-called &quot;<i>dealers</i>&quot; are not as knowledgeable as they rightfully should be, it would force them to actually learn their own trade and would be an absolute win-win for this hobby.&quot;&nbsp; <span style="color: #b30000">AMEN!</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
