Hi All -
I was thinking about this the other day when I was talking to a friend - He loves props but refuses to build "accurate" Star Wars replicas because he also collects WW2 items, and gets upset that so many prop collectors "destroy" authentic WW2 artifacts in order to make prop replicas - Not to mention how much more expensive Sterlings, etc - are now because of their added interest.
I also ran into a camera collector who felt the same about Graflex 3-Cells. etc...
I personally have always been fine with buying a replica base, ie: a replica graflex or sterling, etc - But I know a lot of people desire the "authentic" thing -
Thought it could be a good discussion topic - Hopefully it wont be as heated as recasting talks, etc - Lets try to make it a good back and forth discussion on the topic!
