Clem, I think anyone who has taken the time and spent the money to own 40 or more varieties is a serious collector. Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: Clement V.

Then I guess I fall somewhere in the middle, I have 81 varieties. But then I never really took anything too seriously.

Dave, see, you are a serious collector. I'm just a dabbler, I have exactly 50 varities, basically R-4s are my downfall.
Oh, and since you are a serious collector, you can no longer use the term "bottom feeder" when it comes to NJ's.
