Andrew Richmond said:  "...why should that prevent me
     from purchasing a piece of local memorabilia that I
     find while on vacation..."

     You're not listening, I fear.  Your sense of loyalty
     and your ethics should prevent you from competing with
     the museum.  This has become a dead horse, methinks.
     Collectors shall ever be collectors.
