I think the requirement to be a Society member is a good one. I also think that Harbour Lights is giving regular Society members the chance for some of Bill's collection is a good move on Harbour Lights part to renew interest. I am not a collector that covets a low number. It has taken me and my dealer over 10 years to come from the 500 range of serial numbers to the mid 50s range in serial numbers so double digit numbers from Bill's collection are not that important to me. There are a few pieces that would interest me such as the original 17, but after that the numbers I have in my collection are fine with me.

It will be interesting to see what Harbour Lights comes up with though.
