    Was just taking a sip of my first cup of coffee. Opened this link and spat it all over my cat.
    WOW. So nicely displayed too, Frank.
    What is your favourite airgun in your collection?

    There are collections matching Franks or even larger. I've seen collections of firearms even bigger. The most valuable collection I saw was just Sig 210 and Luger Pistols, stacks of them with many never fired; plus there was a room with "fun" stuff too.

    There is great fun to be had of collecting. Airguns great and not mind bogglingly expensive. Loads in the detail with all the makes, models, and vintages.
    Investment wise then breaking even is enough, anything more a bonus. The return is enjoying the ownership.

    It really is what floats your boat.
