[QUOTE="Prime Mover, post: 1493303, member: 38783"]I would also add that plan on needing a lot of secure, safe storage, which will also drive up the cost of obtaining and keeping your collection. As your collection becomes larger, it will also become much more valuable, and warrant storage in a safe place.
