    Lots of good advice about how to prioritize, and staying within budget. Over the years I have found that some of my best acquisitions have come in multiples. Perhaps a cosigner with a good Eye put an entire collection in an auction, etc. to the extent these are really special items, and to the extent you have some ability to stretch, I recommend doing so.

    I feel this way about G.C trying to accomplish my walker short set very tough. The bids are so high that it comes out to over retail plus fees etc. Hopefully when more shows open up things will chill down a bit.

    Sometimes I think it is a disease.
