<p>[QUOTE="RCBruce, post: 517786, member: 16961"]WOW! What a thread! I just spent the last hour reading it and I am almost afraid of saying anything. I just worry that bottom end 'collectors' like me will be put off by the intensity of some of the responses. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />encil: As I read this, I am struck by one thought. This is a subject for high end 'investors', not guys like me.
