<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1015875, member: 112&quot;]The idea that &quot;private collectors&quot; are the bad guy is pervasive in the world. And it&#039;s been that way since the days of Carter, and no I don&#039;t mean Jimmy either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our films, our books, our literature, has always portrayed the &quot;private collector&quot; as the guy who tries to buy, usually surreptitiously, just so he can have it all to himself as opposed to putting the object in a museum so the whole world can share in enjoying the object.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is one of perspective. And that perspective has been foisted upon us since long before any of us were ever born. And it will never change. That&#039;s a simple fact of life.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying that makes it right - just saying that that&#039;s the way it is and we as collectors have no choice but to deal with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
