[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ACL Fan Here's something interesting: In every, and I do mean EVERY, other hobby where one collects items with a specific design on them, i.e, NASCAR, Disney, you name it, a premium is placed on finding and owning only those items LICENSED by the manufacturer. The hobbyists don't want products made by manufacturers who just put the corporate name on them without authorization. That's exactly what UP wants to do. [/quote] Yes and No You're talking about another genre when your talking Nascar and disney. Those people are for the most part collectors, people who collect, store and sell at a higher price, in a way, commodity traders. where as the vast majority of us Railway Enthusiats are "operators". once we get a piece home it comes out of the box and hits the rails, very few pieces are limited additions, everything massed produced, ergo the value of our assets, like a car depreciates as quick as the dust collects on the shelf. few exceptions apply.
