Fair question, Patrick. The answer is "I have done my homework." Like my friend Dave Noreen, I have spent thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars doing research for no remuneration. I have always given it away. I have given some hints on the Fox forum. Send me your serial numbers and I will tell you (I promise) if you have Ansley's gun. Of course, I will try to purchase the gun, but suspect I will not be successful. I am probably not the only one who knows the number. If the PGCA is anything like the Fox organization, the BOD will trump me because of their access to the records. Ed was right about the "Black Hole of Curatorship", except that he didn't mention that the BOD of any collector organization would be exempt from that "Black Hole". Ed and I have both avoided being put in the compromising position of board member so we could not be accused of unfair access to research material for personal gain. As I have mentioned for a decade, my research files will be available to PGCA as soon as the PGCA research files are available to its members. Comments??
