Ribeerguy, I have dealt in vintage Tiki, Hawaiiana, Surf & Skate for the last 12 years and I like to think I have done it well...I think your opinion and yes it is your opinion that these things will not be worth much. But I have to disagree...there is value in what makes someone feel good and if buying a 100.00 chalise makes someone feel good then so be it...it is worth more than they paid for it...no some of these items will not put kids through college but they have merit...and they have value...and you dont have to like it but these limited edition will go up in value...we are not talking about random "COLLECTIBLES" put out by Time Life or the US Mint...we are talking about excellent pieces of Modern Art...the Tiki Farm, Munktiki, Tiki Diablo etc etc limited editions have their proud place in collections...
If you are a dealer/collector you know that some limited editions do have their place..
Holden I am proud to own one and have it in my home.
