<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3202530, member: 22377&quot;]Setting an auction record is hardly exciting news to the majority of collectors. The true rarities can only be owned by a select few. These sales don&#039;t bring in many new collectors. All they see is that it takes a ton of money to own something like that (and that having a coin in one holder isn&#039;t good enough- that one has to upgrade it and get the blessing of several others before it&#039;s worth it&#039;s &quot;true&quot; price). </p><p><br /></p><p>What most average collectors would like to see is more people collecting in general (anything from pocket change up to the rarities). They would like to see more people starting sets of Franklins, studying the history behind the coins, and sharing that passion with others. </p><p><br /></p><p>The most disgusting parts of the hobby are the games being played (including the crack out and resubmit game). And when collectors rebel against that, the most vocal (and invested) parties come out and shove it back at the collectors by telling them they are wrong and that we should be happy this all is happening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
