Yep that's typical for Texas collectors.
While seraching for mine, I ran across dozens of good old boys that had grand plans for their stuff that refused to sell. Only to watch them fade away more evey year to the tin worms.
Never could convince any of them that getting cash for a couple of their treasures may give them the resources to fix up the rest.
