Colin's article in the above link hits the nail on the head and is an unemotional/unbiased snapshot of where he thinks the market/hobby is and where it is headed. Well worth a couple minutes of your time to read it.

Well said Colin!

Colin who?

Colin is right on the money (no pun intended), with his investment/valuation analysis. I will say one thing though, since the valuation run-up has taken hold, I have far more fun with my clones, while my numbers car just gathers climate controlled dust.

Todays market values have recognized an 11% deduction for climate controlled dust.

My article posted above has nothing to do with Keith Martin's problems at BJ. They stem from his "Beanie Babies and Muscle Cars" article discussed here previously.

While I am a Contributing Editor for SCM, and do not agree with Keith's article or its presentation, what makes the magazine great is having a good group of real car guys being able to voice their opinions. As they say, reasonable people can reasonably disagree, and I chalk this whole debate up to one of those times.

Look for my follow-up article in next month's issue, the lead photo is an LS6 we all know and love burning the tires off at SCR9.

As far as my relationship with BJ, I have been a customer there for well over a decade and have known Steve Davis since he was just a lowly consignor like me and Craig since he was just Brian's little brother helping park cars. I spoke to both Steve and Craig this past week and, as of yet, I see no goons waiting to drag me away

Regards,
Colin Comer

Looking forward to that!

Well said. My heart loved that red '68 RS Yenko clone at Mecum in October. The same car was sold in the big tent at the rear of the grounds last weekend. Fortunately, my brain didn't follow my heart on that car and I walked away from it.
