Minty 1st print every time. No offence intended, but for me it is the items themselves rather than who used them. Yes, the history is interesting and adds to he value - but not significantly.

What would the parameters be set for this? 1000 items in a collection? 2000? 10,000? I would suggest that quanitity along with condition would make up this category rather than either singlely. <sp?> Also, just because someone has 100,000 near mint shrinkwrapped copies of Vault of the Drow doesn't mean that the collection would be pedigree... right?
