For the same reason that one drink, one donut or one hit of your favorite drug is never enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I spoke to Harley (when we first found out about the collection I was on the road) I immediately said it will probably be the biggest collection to date.

Looks like this copy was then regraded with a new serial number a month later at the same CGC 9.4 grade and then subsequently resold at Heritage for $15.5K in 2005. A perfect example of how not everything can go up, up, up. Even the best of the best needs a break once in a while. GA was in a bit of a slump for a while there.

Otherwise, they would be busy here all day deleting threads and handing out strikes as boardies continue talking about this generational collection here. Metro does use the competition so it's definitely a conscious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the case anymore of course, or is it actually even much more prevalent today and simply hidden under a different name and viewed in today's marketplace as maximization of potential. Uh-huh. Sing that song to masterchief and RedHook, they lost that battle eons ago, but still love to hum the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
