Kube, Are you going to the Jefferson swap meet? If you are there, you will find a vendor selling titles. He also was talking to the local sheriff last time I passed. He makes sure you are selling titles for collection purposes and if you buy one, he will also sell you a collectible unstamped VIN plate. All while the law is watching. He knows what is legal and what isn't and lets the law know also. What you do with it is not his problem.[/QUOTE]

This is totally false. While I have little doubt in you witnessing the guy speaking with a sheriff, the information he was given and / or he chooses to pass along is patently false.
Think about this: If one sells something that is not his (recall, you can't OWN a title) then that person selling is breaking the law.
He can call it a historical document, a collectors item, or heck, "toilet paper" for all I and the law would care. The fact remains, it is a title, owned by the state. Therefore, illegal to sell. Period.
One more thing, to knowingly purchase something that one knows is not a possession of the "seller" is also illegal. Any half way decent prosecuting attorney could also (easily) argue the purpose of purchasing said title was to further facilitate a criminal activity. In this example, most likely, the renumbering and subsequent titling of a vehicle.
While I realize that in our "modern" society, ignorance goes a long way to skirt laws, if it all came down to a court proceeding, one MUST realize that ignorance is no excuse when a law is broken. That too is actually a law.
