When those that still try to collect all that stuff find there are more and more and more of eveything, they too will say to busy watching TV or playing Video Games or whatever. I know most coin collectors will say that could never happen but so did a lot of others with all those other hot items. Just saw a bin of Beanie Babies at the flea market with a sign saying Please take all for $10.
And attempt to find a place for massive varieties of all coins in an album will make Albums a mess. I'm already worried about my Lincoln Albums that would require a thousand places for just all the 2009's (slight exageration). I almost went nuts with those Nickel types not long ago.

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts on our hobby...
