Every time I see the movie Back to the future-- I think that I would go back and purchase 2 dozen '59 LP's, come back sell 12 and retire happily and keep the rest
But what if the ones you bought wound up altering the future? Suppose Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Keith Richards never bought theirs because you snatched them up first? They would be playing something else instead, and the love affair with an old, discontinued guitar would never have happened. And the collectors market would be looking elsewhere.
