<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 1617839, member: 12718&quot;]I am a type collector and want to echo TomB&#039;s comment about being patient.&nbsp; Building a type set is a journey best made by exploring different possibilities (viewing lots of coins and getting experience along the way).&nbsp; I will wager that what you like at the beginning of your journey will change later on since you&#039;ll have acquired a better eye with more perspective.&nbsp; Thus, you will likely sell earlier purchases to be replaced by better examples.&nbsp; This will probably still happen even if you are extremely careful.&nbsp; It&#039;s okay to upgrade yet try and minimize the tuition cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also inherent in TomB&#039;s &quot;patience&quot; advice is that these coins will usually take time to find.&nbsp; I prefer to let the coin find me and not restrict myself to saying I&#039;m only looking for X type so I can be flexible when I might unexpectedly see a Y type that is a knockout that I feel I must own.&nbsp; That is one of the joys of type collecting to open oneself up to possibilities versus collecting the same coin over and over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
