Greg, I don't know if I am an advanced collector, but that drop issue makes no difference to me. The biggest issues to a collector are condition, generally meaning case colors, and original configuration.....no chopped barrels, altered comb or grip stocks unless its a factory change. There are some who want only skeleton butts or dogs head butt plates, no padded butts. I personally prefer a skeleton butt however I can live with a padded butt if the rest of the gun is compelling enough. then of course, the smaller the bore and the higher the grade, the more the interest. I am not a micro bore guy and prefer the 16's and 20's, and even a light 12.
