I haven't posted for a long time as well. I started collecting early in the game and had the same low two digit number for many years. I even continued to buy during the 10K "greed" debacle. I had enough, however, the day Bill Younger "retired". The "chase" becamu tpp expensive. You folks say the new owners have the "right" strategy. I say they reduced the production based on a very diminished demand that could not sustain the overhead. That strategy doesn't reflect ingenuity, but it does reflect reality. Happy Collecting!
