Is there really a pattern collectors society or are you just joshing us?
I think it'd be a cool collectors society if your could pull it together and do some publications of different collections, as well as information about what's out there.
I don't have any patterns, but I would enjoy being part of the collectors society, and have always had that "I need some of those" in the back of my head.
"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity." (Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. (Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko, Big Moose.
Heck, if I could get close to a pattern on my budget I'd be all over them. Oddly enough, the rejected US coinage designs are among the most beautiful ever struck in this country.
I don't have any patterns either, but I would love to meet some more forum folks and swipe some of boilers patterns!!!!! Let me know when it is and if possible I would like to drop in
Market's real soft - take a look at the prices realized at ANR for the 1613 (44K), 1615 (40K) and Schoolgirl (55K) - downright muddy!
Bottom line - no price too low for an ugly generic pattern, no price too high for a beautiful desirable pattern.

Tim - It's good to know you feel that way. It may come in handy next time we're negotiating.
