Um, if you've never seen the collection at the Autry -and it would take several trips there to see it all, as they don't have enough showcase room to display the complete collection all at once- then how do you know those Oklahoma collections are "better"? (And how does one determine the value of "better" to begin with when you're talking about a collection of unique pieces?)
