<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 3270618, member: 76863&quot;]We certainly disagree a lot, it just always frustrates me to see people trying to tear down others for no reason just because they have a bigger budget.&nbsp; We all have a bigger one than some, and less than others.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For forums at least I see threads like these and just know some of the comments that will come.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t understand why collectors aren&#039;t allowed to have money without being torn down.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>By no means could I afford those types of coins, but I always hate the this is a common coin or they&#039;re just doing it for ego comments.&nbsp; The negativity of collectors on forums has worn me out.&nbsp; If I could though I would keep it hidden like many do because sharing it just gets the boo birds out of the woodwork.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some top set collectors do talk about them, and many admit they don&#039;t care if they &quot;over paid&quot; for something they wanted.&nbsp; Truth be told the coins that I still have years later and didn&#039;t regret I did &quot;overpay&quot; at the time, but they aren&#039;t supposed to be investments.&nbsp; In this case it isn&#039;t even clear the sale was for a set unless someone has proof of that.&nbsp; Many people use registry sets to track their inventory or just share what they have, and things like this are why a lot don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also hate the modern bias.&nbsp; A coin is a coin and a collector is a collector no matter when the coin was made.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t less of a coin just because it is a modern, nor are the elite modern coins anywhere near as common as some collecting snobs make them out to be.&nbsp; It shouldn&#039;t matter if it&#039;s clad or silver quality is quality just as conditional rarity is rarity.&nbsp; A lot of conditional rarity moderns are actually more rare than the classic &quot;key dates&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>It does just frustrates me overall to see a lot of the get off my lawn type stuff because that&#039;s not what they would do.&nbsp; Many could run around to other threads and trash their purchases but don&#039;t, but the buyers for coins like these can&#039;t get the same respect for some reason.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole registry thing is very overplayed for purchasing stuff.&nbsp; Most top sets are done for a purpose and the quality they desire, it&#039;s not the blind buying type thing some make it out to be.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway that&#039;s my frustration rant for the day about how collectors treat each other and than they wonder why more people don&#039;t want to participate on chat boards or be public[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
