Not exactly. Yes, I think the market is screwy because it doesn't value many scarce coins at much higher price. But the human species is a...
Yes!!! Exactly my point. You'll use the same argument over and over even as the coins are increasing in desirability and PRICE. Coins that...
I think that's what I said; the market is immature because people don't collect them. It's the same thing with most things made in later times....
I've gone through a lot of tokens looking for keepers and haven't even found all the minor keys yet! I didn't use Shell gas much back in the day...
