Way too often via internet searches I have found items that I missed that I believe I would now own had I known about them before the auction ended. Though I do have to agree that damned if you do and damned if you don't. You won't be able to please everybody. I would rather see a rarity before hand and if I am fortunate enough to add it to the collection that is great. If not, I still know that they are out there and add to my knowledge base. After 55 years of collecting there are still so many things that I am learning. Thank goodness for these forums and their members who thanklessly share their knowledge.
