Maybe a good balance of both worlds here is in order. In other words- queen a few and use a few. There is a lot of really good steel out there to pick from so maybe get some of those and pound on em and keep " select" Bussekin steel and use some. That way you kind of get the best of all worlds. At my age I am not in the " collecting" stage so much anymore- but can surely see the younger guys points of view. Plus- I am starting to buy select steel to leave for my children and grandchildren. The most important thing is to have fun doing it and enjoy !! That is also what is great about this board as we share in our addiction or " hobby" . Thanks
