The former is OK for collectors to own, buy and sell, the latter is not. I say this is obvious because that is what has actually happened, and happened repeatedly for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the question that remains is why they are looked at differently ? Nobody has ever come up with the answer to that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
