<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3573730, member: 76194&quot;]Collecting things is seldom purely based on logic. I&#039;ve given up trying to figure out why people collect things. To some no collection makes sense at all, to others comic books seem rational, or coins, or toys, or campaign buttons, or dolls, etc, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had a dollar for every time someone questioned my sanity for wanting to collect coins, only to find out they collect fridge magnets, or Pokemon cards, or mineral samples, or other such thing which seems rational to them but irrational to me, I&#039;d have a fortune.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heck, the way we collect coins is individual to each person. I know some collectors that only collect one type of ancient coin, or only one emperor, or only one specific period of history, etc. Whose to say their method is wrong and mine right, or the other way around? I can only speak for the method(s) that makes sense to me, but to each their own. OP&#039;s methods seem like madness to me, but he probably thinks I&#039;m a mad man for spending hours upon hours researching the provenance and attributions of a single ancient coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
