Heads up here guys and gals: FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL LINK ABOVE>>> The result is a rise in prices that longtime enthusiasts say is making it harder for them to continue collecting. Some European collectors "are blowing us out of the water," says Duane Ver Ploeg, a restorer in Sully, Iowa, WHO JUST RETURNED FROM A BIG AUCTION IN NEBRASKA WHERE AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF OVERSEAS COLLECTORS WERE BIDDING VIA THE INTERNET.
