<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2942113, member: 4920"]But you have to learn to contain that, or, quite literally, go nuts. This isn't criticism of your enthusiasm. It's saying you shouldn't be in this, in my honest opinion, looking for the "big winner." So many of us mistakenly say that's good for the hobby as it brings in new blood and sooner or later they'll settle down and settle in and get with the real program of admiring coins as opposed to looking for the Holy Grail of coins, and, at times, I'm inclined to share that opinion. But really, it's a stupid opinion. You want to learn how to collect coins, we'll teach you everything you need to know. You want to strike it rich, you're wasting your time thinking you're going to do it in this hobby. I hope you understand that, and that you retain your enthusiasm, but that you try to direct it to figuring out what we're about, that is to say, enjoying coins. You make that effort, you're going to be on your way to enjoyment that's going to last you a lifetime. Sorry for the rant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
