"The famous Missionary issue. (would be nice to have one of these)"
It sure would, I wonder how many, if any, complete collections of Hawaii exist.
My local dealer gave me a chance to buy the complete BC collection and thankfully allowed me to make bi-weekly payments. It took the better part of a year to pay for the set. Imagine if it had been a complete Hawaii collection, it boggles the mind!! That sort of thing is for multi millionaires and not people like us!!

The Unitrade "value" (which is based on Scott's) of my BC collection is in the neighbourhood of $58 000 CD. Let's say it took me about 8 months to pay this off it would take about 11 times as long to pay of $625 000, or about 88 months, or more than 7 years!! No thanks, I could very well be dead by then!!! By the way my dealer wanted me to make a commitment to the sale by buying BC #1 outright and then pick up the remainder by paying every two weeks. I thought that was both reasonable and sensible!!
