Since this thread was started, it has become apparent to me my own personal growth as a Savage acquirer. It happened so slow and gradually that I hadn't noticed. Going from many years ago anything 99 was of interest, to being more and more selective. Now I turn my nose up to 99s in years past would have had me salivating. I'm not quite to the point of being a Savage snob, but my more recent acquisitions are pointing in that direction. (still a long way to go) Getting ready to go to a show in an hour or so, and thinking of taking the least original of my 99s in hopes of brooming to upgrade. Five years ago this thought wouldn't have crossed my mind. So it goes.....
