Butters or lavenders...

My vote goes to lavendars, but I'm sure there are some who would disagree. I know lav and butter motleys go for much more than regular butters and lavendars, but with the lavendars you can also throw opals into the mix. I haven't kept up on the latest prices though, so I could be out of the loop on this.

I'd go for whatever people AREN'T going for this year, because think about it, in 2 years when people start breeding all the Lav's they collected this year because of the shortage or "fad" you'll be far from one in a million...

Silently collect something no one talks about or has even mentioned and will most definitely present with a shortage in a few years.

Perfect example, in my area this year and seemingly around the major breeders Miami's were hard as hell to come by. Thinking numbers will only keep declining especially since there hasn't been much Miami talk. Maybe I'll even try to produce some striped or motley Miami's in the next few years... shhhhhh
