How many of you remember the days when serious HL Collectors would literally save at least one of everything offered by Harbour Lights, including postcards, brochures, Legacys (oh those wonderful hard copy days!), pins, buttons, thumbnails, etc. Then collectors would buy one of every new release re LE's, GLOW's, Christmas Ornaments, AB's, Lenses, etc. Needless to say, it required quite an investment of time and money to keep up with the "one-of-everything" goal.

Then came the introduction of the famous "gold pieces". They are rare and most people lucky enough to possess one would not give them up. A "one-of-everything" collector would have to have really deep pockets to add every Harbour Lights gold offering to their collection, if he or she could convince the present owners to part with them.

Does it make you wonder if anyone does that anymore? As Harbour Lights adds more years to its reign at the best lighthouse collectible in the world, the task of keeping everything has become a mammoth one. Do you know of anyone that still attempts to keep up such a serious commitment? Paul Brady comes to mind, but I don't really know if he has kept up. I'm sure when he reads this we will find out.

Anyone else that may be close?
