I never would have guessed James Karen was a collector back then.

I wish I could get that Zany Gill pipe-organ grill cathedral radio in Dempsey's old shop! A tough one to find now. It's funny, but, believe it or not, by this time, collectors had already discovered which sets were blue-chip and they're weren't cheap! In fact many have actually fallen in price from this time such as consoles and tombstone sets. The Internet, particularly eBay, has put light on how common many of them are. It's the same story with many antiques and collectibles.
