As it has turned out, those BP commemoratives peaked in value early on and then got lost in the ground clutter. As far as I can tell they are now just a M66 with some significance to guys who like them. I think the others are about in the same category, and their prices tend to reflect that. [QUOTE]

I hope your right as I let mine go when I was young and dumber! and now that I am retired I would like to find another one.. For a while (when I was not interested) there were a few around South Texas for the price of a plain 66, know when I start searching the only ones I found were higher than a cats ***.) Had 2 DEA Series 70 Gold Cup Commems and tried to sell one on GB a few years ago and nobody wanted it so know one sits in the safe and one is a hell of a shooter..

I find the same to be true when somone buys a decent 1911 and drops 2 grand in it and then try and get it back in a trade or sale.. Never happens around here.
