Like someone mentioned earlier, I am also surprised that the Youngers didn't want to keep #1 of each replica. Anyhow this sealed bid process is really for a priviledged few and the rest of us will just be sitting back and watching the "action." Trying to figure all this out just takes too much effort. It's out of my league so my interest wanes! I do wonder, however, what will happen to us old time collectors who just don't have the big bucks to throw around. And like Melody mentioned, what about those of us in states with no lighthouses? Maybe we'll have to stick to cow tipping and jackalopes!
