When I last lived in North Carolina I ran into a collector in Hickory who wanted to sell his entire collection of about thirty Lugers. The collection included a near mint K-date, a couple of complete rig artilleries and Navies, and on and on. He would only sell the whole works; no cherry pickin'. He wanted sixty thousand dollars. I could have sold some equities and bought, but I went to my bank and got a seventy-five thousand unsecured line of credit. I bought the collection and more than doubled my money.
