the same 2 different needs, approaches and goals.
On one side Collectors, Historians POV
We've to carefully differentiate those:
Type I: without shading on the first circle to the left from number 1 (NBN).
Type II: shading on the first circle to the left from number 1 (ABN and CBN).
Type III: retouching: darker engraving in upper corners (ABN).
Price: up to huge.
Availability: complicated, up to impossible.
In forum: present and shouting 
Number: hundreds to thousands?
On the other side, every day Buyers, Builders, Creators POV
Price: 68 cents.
Availability: quasi infinite.
In forum: zero 
Number: tens of millions (with half a million already on BrickLink, and
millions on PAB)?
BrickLink will of course choose to support the vast majority of buyers.
Just like USPS is selling base stamps for every day usage.
Because it's what the vast majority needs.
BUT BrickLink will ALSO keep on providing it's finest Catalog on Earth to
those who need details of the History of the Brand.
Please Collectors, Historians, rebuilders of Sets from the past - consider the
whole market. And you'll still have the Catalog we all love and use.
So what?
I really and sincerely hope that helps?

I want that specific part.
