"We have seen more than a few collectors throw up their hands and quit collecting LE's."

Yes you have.
But:
Many have stayed in the hobby collecting obsoletes, current house racks, etc.
The fact LE's brought them here remains.

Let the new collector deside for himself.
A new collector logging on and reading what brought him here is junk, could very well quit before he gets started.

AND
There are many avid collectors of LE's that should not have to read their collections are junk. Some collect for fun.

How would you like to log on and read "whatever" it is you collect is junk.
I'm done!
