Green,
LOL! I know what you mean. When hubby and I go looking at Carnival Glass, he picks up EVERY piece and calls, "Honey!" So, no matter where I am in the store, I go over and look. Nine times out of ten, it is a piece of contemporary.
I'll buy contemporary with the intent to eventually resell, but the price has got to be right. It's the original issued items I'll have a hard time getting rid of.
