    Man, you guys just don't understand collecting at all. There is a massive difference between a Beatles flexi-disc and Dylan handwritten lyrics. Here are the nine Americans who have won the Nobel Prize for Literature: Eugene O'Neill, Pearl S. Buck, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Toni Morrison, Bob Dylan. Try and search these authors and "handwritten manuscript" and see what you come up with. They are in a different league.

    Sure but what percentage of mortal collectors can pay the asking prices?

    A glimpse into the future... by looking at the present

    ... and another glimpse

    like I stated earlier, I'm not sure how much Dylan will be appreciated in the future...

    Aside from being one of the nine US citizens to be honored with the Nobel Prize for Literature, much of Dylan's music sounds timeless, like the best of Stephen Foster or Woody Guthrie. It's 50-60 years old and still sounds good; I suspect that it will sound good 100 years from now.

    It's interesting to me that half a century after release, the songs that young people sing from Blood on the Tracks are not the "big" numbers, but the more intimate tracks, songs like "Buckets of Rain", or "Shelter from the Storm" or the beautiful "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go"

    It's always difficult to know what songs will resonate with future generations, stir their emotions, help them feel a sense of community . . . . Even if they never know that Dylan wrote it . . . .

    Sorry, I don't quite catch what it is, "play-grading" :shrug:.

    Well, when you sell records here you play-grade them first so you can give a description as to what condition they are in. So, since you claimed to have sold 2 wives, I was just curious how their play-grading came out :D
