OK! I admit it. I have been stockpiling BMs and Smiths like crazy. Anyone who has a 401K knows that they have lost more than half their value with this &^%#$ mess in the financial sector. So I am investing in my retirement. I'm 61 and don't have time for "in it for the long haul". Plugs are a much better investment than the stockmarket right now. I am not ashamed of it either!!!

No boat, back in the suds.

I'm a bit skeptical about the investment value of plugs. It seems to me that plug collecting, particularly of recent vintage stuff, has been a fad being driven by the large numbers of people, flush with disposable income, who have taken up surf fishing lately. Most will likely move on to other hobbies. Bandwagon collecting has a way of petering out as fast as it arrives. Now if eels become protected, bunker scarce, and the size limit on scup raised further, things might change. We'll see.
