Default Searching for the White Crow

Charlie Price wrote a series of articles titled "Whatsitworth" for Parker Pages when he began the magazine format. He likened collecting to a search for a white crow; collectors search for guns that should not be there. These include long and short barrels, mis matched gauge and frame , etc. Enough 32 inch twenties have surfaced to remove their white crow status.
Forbes, WSJ and CNBC.com have run articles on collecting as an investment in this time of low interest rate. They have concluded that where sold is a major factor in sale price.

Best, Austin
