You left out one extremely important part of the equation, John ..... and that is PRICE! If it's not the $10,000 price the seller is demanding that you think the club should fork over for these so-called records ..... records that will benefit relatively few individual club members .... how much do YOU think would be a "reasonable price" for "the club" to pay for them John? I'm afraid I'm shoulder-to-shoulder with Jimbo on this one.
