Although I appreciate the historical value of pre Robinson items, I just have difficulty developing an emotional attachment to players I never saw. That being said I remain interested in seeing the items other collectors are passionate about no matter their vintage. Because of this I would likely spend equal time viewing both pick up threads if that split occurs.
