By pedigreed owners I mean known collectors. people who's reputation has some value in the rare car world. Similar to what I mentioned in my "Want to buy" post. That I would rather pay a little more from someone at this site. Where I can evaluate their post and history to make assumptions on the care of the car. Would you rather buy a gun at a pawn shop or a gunsmith. Most serious collectors have some knowledge of the others within their world. This speaks to storage, Care, or whether the are likely to use a marker pen to cover small scratches or to fix professionally.
