Hello Brandon,
What you "have gotten right" is your keen interest in lugers at your age !!!
If you buy one luger a year from now on until you are 70; you will have most of us beat, hands down !!! And if you hang in there and keep reading and learning, you might be the expert others are in awe of...
No need to apologize when your enthusiasm makes up for it...
