When I first saw the Bicycle Guide article and the Porsche poster, I wasn't interested in anything that wasn't an Italian steel racing bike. So I skimmed the Klein stuff and moved on. All these decades later, though, I remember those Kleins with something akin to affection and wouldn't mind having one myself. I'm certainly not obsessed with them, but can absolutely understand why someone would be. And that's all it really takes to make something "collectible".

Hell, I had an Apple IIe at the time and spent my spare hours playing Wizardry on it. I can't be the only one who looks back on that with fondness and who would enjoy having an original IIe and a copy of Wizardry to play on it. Again - collectability.

Wished I had known. I just got rid of about a dozen IIe's. Most of them still worked, I tried giving them away locally but had no takers.
