Two 70's clunkers have gone down in value relative to inflation but I never had any expectations that they were headed for value appreciation glory.

If only I had bought a whole bunch of Colt Pythons! Oh well... too late now.
Definitely!! A crystal ball sure would have helped. A nice Python and that Marlin made 1894 in 44 mag I should have grabbed in the 70s. Those are a couple that are going for some decent dollars these days.
