<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2738944, member: 36230"]I realize this is a touchy issue in today's world, but personal choice still means something to a few of us. If someone chooses to collect the most minor of varieties, so what? Does that harm you or the hobby as a whole? Of course not, so what's the big deal? And you're right; I will defend it the same as I would even Carr's copies, which I personally despise, and for the simple reason that those who enjoy them have every right to collect them without being attacked for it. It's one thing to knock the varieties themselves, but something else altogether to knock those who enjoy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ONLY thing that must be understood when collecting such things is that not everyone accepts or feels the same about them, and even to their fellow variety collectors, "values" will be at best minimal. As with most everything else on this hobby, knowledge and education is key, and if we really want to get technical about it, minor varieties, while often giving something to the less affluent among us, also offer one of the least concerning "screw the next guy" opportunities. It's really not such a bad thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
