just my opinion...

I happen to agree with both sides of this story. When I heard that so many new issues were coming, the first thing I thought about was, "can I afford them..?". The answer is easy, ... no. Then I thought, "will I go for them..?". This answer is also easy, ... yes. I'll do the best I can to pick up all the fives that I want and hope that there aren't any good looking quarters. Even though it's a lot of money, I still look forward to new releases. I do this now for the same reasons that I started doing this four years ago, ... I really like them. To me cc's are a small piece of artwork; yes, even the gaudy ones. And no matter what anyone says, I've always enjoyed reading the diverse opinions on this board -- although sometimes I cringe when I know what's coming. Thanks.
