I see the cricket forum police are out in full force again... 
You’re making it seem like I’m trying to make petehosk feel guilty about his collection?! Pete if that’s the impression I’ve given YOU then please be assured that’s not my intention.
You have a truly amazing collection and my curiosity about its value is mostly rhetorical. I’ve never come across anyone with such an extensive collection and it is natural (for me at least) to wonder about its value. But that’s not all I’m curious about. I do appreciate you sharing it...
I'm afraid we live in a world where material value is more important to more people than ever before. No one was having a go at you, no 'forum police' as you claim. Pete has possibly the best collection of bats in the world and we are incredibly fortunate that he is couteous enough to share them with us. His generosity extends beyond pictures though, he has helped forum members out many times in many different ways.
No doubt Pete is in a fortunate position in life where he can afford such things, but he will have worked hard to buy every one. He could very easily hark on about how much they cost or how his collection is worth more than most people's cars, but he doesn't. Ever.
I think Pete and I come from an age where discussing money is considered a little vulgar. I'm guessing you are younger, so you consider it less so. But let us not cloud the issue. Enjoy the collection, dream and aspire to be able to have a collection of your own one day.
