I guess I caught the bug. I have bought as much as I could find at a reasonable price through the years. I never thought that CI would be such a "thing". I bought them to clean up and give as gifts.

Both of my children have a bunch of CI that I gave them over time. They use it all the time.
The prices now are through the roof so, I guess if luck into a piece at a sale that is reasonable, I'll still buy any that we don't have.

Best pans ever. Easy to clean if you know how. Don't be intimated. Most old CI pans can be cleaned up without too much work. If anyone wants to know, I'll be glad to post the easiest way. You don't need to use electrolysis unless you have a real bad situation.
I use mine for both stove top and oven. Yes they are heavy but you learn how to handle the big pans.
