I don't think most collectors are in it for the money. I don't consider myself a collector of anything and certainly not an investor in classic shotguns. I invest in real property and mutual funds. I have a handful of classic shotguns because I enjoy the search, I enjoy the nostalgia, and I enjoy days afield with sporting dogs and shotguns!

An interesting thread. I enjoy reading about the idiosyncratic nature of collector strategies and comparing them with my own (which have evolved significantly over time).

I have no wisdom or insight into the question beyond the personal experience that hard-held collecting strategies sometime become irrelevant when faced with a beautiful gun.

FWIW, I think that if a person has more than two of something, that makes him a collector.

P.S. I've learned that very few things last as long as regret.

Hey, Craig, a collection is a collection, but my guess is your insults will not appreciate in value over time.

As for "accumulating;" it's like pronouncing a word two different ways (poe-tay-tow/poe-tah-tow).

1 : something that has accumulated or has been accumulated an impressive accumulation of knowledge. 2 : the action or process of accumulating something : the state of being or having accumulated the steady accumulation of snow.
