    Collections should have a Theme.

    Since it has been slow lately, here goes.
    At one time, I was told collections should have a theme. Then you get the best examples of that theme. Don't make your collection too broad or you can run out of money before you are satisfied.
    This happened to me. I thought what could I do a little different than most carbine collectors?
    Answer, get a carbine from each 100,000 numbers. Of course, that would be over 70 carbines. No problem for a big time collector, I wanted to be. Yea, wishful thinking, right.
    Well I had a bunch of carbines at the time and only a few from the same 100K. So here I went buying any junker carbine for a number I did not have. I was 90% there when I realized all I had was JUNK. That was fifteen years ago now and I want to think the real "Big Time" collectors for showing me the light and what collector grade carbines are supposed to look like. Marcus, BQ (when he posts pictures) Paul LaV. Ed B.,
    Chris A. and many other members of the Carbine Club. Many have sold me some of their "Private Stock".
    Thank-You.
    I have learned it is better to have three carbines from the same maker, All original early, transition and late, than any ten junkers.
