Yes, sir. Even an advanced collector will occasionally pay a small premium for a shooter grade gun that fills the empty slot of a hard-to-get variation, while he waits for a better grade example at an acceptable price.

Beginning collectors will do the same thing, more often than the advanced collector, and have been known to get buck fever and offer much more than a gun is really worth purely because they they think the chances they will never see another example of some uncommon-to-rare variation.

You can take it for given that I will be mindful of all that and more when the time comes, in five or ten years, for me to sell this one.
