The last bit....

Firstly, the collection started about 10 years ago.  More precisely September of 2003. 

Three sets of books, on my schedule, and then the end game:
1)  The most useful set.  The research material. 
2)  Krags.  Sadly the set I'm least interested in but will churn it out anyway.
3)  The detail set.  All of it.  Ambitious?  Why not.

Skipping the Krag set, the first set is the research source.  That is then leveraged in that last set.  Cover a bewildering array of US militaria.  Uniforms, guns, gear, etc.  This will be serialized for likely the rest of my life.  This is the collection.

While I'm doing that last set I'm going to be retired.  Except I won't be.  I'm going to open a themed restaurant.  With a museum.  In the museum will be the collection.  The hall leading there?  Wallpapered.  DRMs.

I'll likely lose my backside on the restaurant.  Which, frankly, doesn't bother me one iota.  What then?

I die.  The dead are notorious for not caring.  Perhaps my kids cash in.  Perhaps it burns to the ground.  Doesn't matter.  It's not necessary stuff so it's simply amusement. 

The research is extensive and something of a chore but that's ok because my time, like my money, is mine to spend.  If I decide to spend it on drudge research - it's my life. 

I'm comfortable with it all.  And frankly, outside of the wife, that is the decision tree.

Restaurant.  Grand opening in 2018.  Ted will get a place.  Along with his analogs.  The wallpaper will be colorful.
