Yes, I agree but many years ago, matching numbers did mean original. Now with the advent of restamps that has been going on for decades, the meaning of the phrase has changed. Everytime I watch an auction on TV or read certain publications, the talking heads always define matching #s as original which only makes things worse. Of course anyone with knowledge knows better but if the hobby is to stand the test of time, this BS has to be addressed IMHO.
