Thanks Frank, I think a lot of people just don't get the whole memorabilia thing. I appreciate seeing any piece of vintage Supercar memorabila and completely understand the prices some of it commands these days. Sometimes certain pieces of memorabila have an aura even the cars don't. I kind of look at it the way the many people look at collecting sports memorabilia. Why do people collect game worn jerseys, or used baseball bats, I think it's because they're tangible reminders of some great moments they'd like to have been present for. Does a bat used by Mickey Mantle have any more value than a regular old Louisville Slugger? Not to me, but in today's age of eBay and internet message boards, you can bet on it, but to whom and why? To die-hard baseball fans it's almost like some of Mantle's greatness has rubbed off on the bat, to non fans it sounds like a silly waste of money. I feel sort of the same way about the supercar memorabilia, if you're into it, it takes you back, reminds you of where it came from, even something as trivial as a give-away wisk broom, when you see it you know it was there in the supercar heyday, in the thick of things and it survived. Gets me goin' on the whole supercar trip, and I can certainly see why some of it commands big bucks especially with the value of some of these cars, but others might just see it as an old worthless broom, or a silly old baseball bat. To each his own I suppose...but I'm on the same page as you Frank.
