I can definitely second that. Collector-wise the Who are somewhat minor.
There are items I bought twenty years ago that I have never even seen since.
There will come a time that money will not even matter, you will just not be
able to find them for any price. I passed up Japanese picture sleeve singles
of "Whiskey Man" and "I'm a Boy" for $40 each. I'd pay 3-5 times that today
but it doesn't matter. Nobody has them.
