A buddy of mine who used to live in Texas made extra money buying used No. 1's in one section of the state and selling them for considerably more in another. He traveled frequently to both parts of the state and did pretty well!
I don't guess you'd like to volunteer the "buy" part of the state, would you?
Honestly, a black pad #1 with nice wood is arguably one of the more desirable variants, IMO. They seem to be consistently good shooters.
After Aoudad hunting I'm planning to start working back on a couple of #1's, for whitetail season. Probably the .38-55, and maybe the .218 Bee, too.
