[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4206664, member: 10461"]Except there's more to the Dark Side than just Ancients (ancients are a subset of the Dark Side). And while sets and competitions and slabbing are indeed all optional and not necessary for enjoyment, if you feel like partaking in any of that, go right ahead. Set structure can be satisfying if you're goal oriented. Collect along popular themes for sets, or create your own parameters if you want to. Friendly competition can also be fun if done in the right spirit and not in an egotistical way. And if you like slabs, then by all means, slab your coins, though it can be expensive and will certainly not bring any approval from the vocal anti-slab majority amongst the collectors of ancient coins. Slabbing comes with both pros and cons. Never let anyone else tell you what to collect or how to collect it, unless you just feel like following their advice. Have fun. [I]Your[/I] way.[/QUOTE]
