Have been reading some of the posts and they're very interesting. HOWEVER... I first became interested in lighthouses after watching the PBS series and discovered Harbour Lights as a result. I received one as a Christmas gift and later bought one for myself. What gets me about collecting is this; there is so much emphasis on what the future value of something will be because it's a limited edition, members only piece, etc. Who cares? My motto is to buy what YOU like, not what might be worth the most down the road. Chances are our kids won't give a damn about our stuff anyway. So while I'll probably buy more lighthouses I don't plan to drive myself crazy trying to get the hard to find ones. Then it becomes too much work. Does anyone feel the same?
