Back during the crash of 2008 I was able to pick up some nice full 3-inch 20-gauge boxes from the Ward's Auction --

Since then when a box of vintage 3-inch 20-gauge shells does come up the price shoots past my comfort zone in a hurry. A box of these has never been within my comfort zone --

A number of years ago I had a chance at box of Remington UMC ARROW 20-gauge 2 7/8 inch shells and passed. Didn't realize how really scarce they are. It seems to me that the early long, 2 7/8, 3 and 3 1/4 inch 12-gauge shells must have all been shot up by the old timers as they sure don't show up very often
