Lonestar Flight Museum...Blake?

Can anybody explain the collection policy behind the LSFM? I have seen several of their more interesting planes be sold over the years and a couple are up for sale right now. A-37, OV-1, P-51, P-40, Firefly, C-47, F7F, A1E, AD5, T-6 and several others. The only explanation I have ever seen is that these planes don't fit the "collection policy" of the museum.

All that being said, I consider the LSFM to be the finest museum in the states. I am just curious as to why they do some of the things they do.

Being closely associated with a museum myself, I understand
the need to sell a few planes to buy a few more. I also understand the occasional need for an infusion of cash. (No bucks, no Buck Rogers). Is this the case?
