I wholeheartedly agree with your first sentence. The second sentence is balderdash, unless one realizes the very rare world you often hunt for. The pop report is a fine guage for most of the prominent and important regional / food issues of the immediate post-war. Not so for many of the exceedingly obscure items you delight in, for which many of us have never seen, nor heard of. My, you must wrack your brain frequently over how to procure these groundhogs. How does one get word to still-living dinosaurs and their descendants that you want X and this is what X looks like, and I am willing to pay you this much $ for them? As much as you do not wish to make the last part of the scenario known, showing the color of your money will be what gets their attention to study the first part, expressing what you are in the market for.
The time is ticking down for those still-living who might have saved their Comiskey Park tickets with the picture of a White Sox player.
Time for me to stop pondering the matter. --Brian Powell
