>>Did commerce have anything to do with promoting locality animals or was it for organization of private collections.
>>
>>Did this group promote rarer localities for higher prices on f1's or would that be contributed to someone else?

Pretty much everyone did that based on supply and demand. We (most of us) didn't make any money back then just like we don't make money now. We spent years and years and thousands of dollars in gas and hotels trying to pair up animals, just like today.

There are folks in this hobby solely for money, but the vast majority of alterna aficionados are not.
