Collector vs Shooter Discussion

Bob, I think you may have missed the point about Ron's illustration by the use of the Beanie Babies reference. It seems totally valid to me.

I've had the misfortune of having the Luger bug bite me as the prices of everything Luger seems to be going up. What are considered "shooters" by the guys here often command prices which would net me very nice guns in other catagories I'm interested in.

Now, I'm not really a collector and I'm not saving my guns for anyone in particular to inherit. Still, I remember one collector here venturing the guess that what we view as mere shooters today might be collectible some day due to the fact that the supply of these guns may not "strech" enough to fill everyone's desire to own one. I sort of feel that might happen.

In the meantime I'll enjoy my meager shooter assembly.
