thing is,,,most everyone has the 'common stuff' EKs,WBs, breast eagles,flags, common daggers, plain helmets etc. so there is little interest.

Some of the older collectors have actually went to colleting tinnies as at least their interesting and a wide variety of them.. Most others have specialized to one specific subject area and won't spend un less its something they really need or to upgrade their collection... The world wide bad economy doesn't help!
