Great article, Rick. We got into this collecting thing because we loved lighthouses. We began collecting slowly and then caught the fever to get what we could before they were gone. If it hadn't been a limited edition and would have been an open edition, we would have gone about it much differently and would still be buying HLs slowly. Collecting fever can get to you, but I'm glad we started before HL fever set in like it did. We hope our collection retains it value - wouldn't be normal if we didn't - but the most important points have been our "love" for lighthouses and the feeling that HL does it better than any other company.
