I know people moan, and say that some of my chips are worthless.... but I say they are wrong - Where as a P133 Ceramic on it's own may only be worth a small amount... The set as a whole collection is worth much more - because it is not easy accumulating this type of collection...
takes a lot of dedication and effort...

Oh yeah, and MONEY! 
That is why I tend to collect vintage stuff. People here often are not aware of it's real value and I can buy great items for cheap, whereas more modern cpus (P166 and above) are expensive because they are still used in PC's.
Edit: Remember my thread about a KNIIMP Z80? I bought it for $0.20

I can't tell you what this lot cost me, but I can give a rough estimate that it was somewhere between
£1500 and £2500...
I would value it as it is now at £5000+

Our ideas of what is cheap are quite different
Oh, well, it's your money, you may buy whatever you like.

it's up to you.
whatever you value it at - you will be one of the few people in the world who will have that sort of collection.. of a growing collectors industry.
