[QUOTE="umtrr-author, post: 359363, member: 5719"]I think there is a chance of being overwhelmed in the beginning, and then there is also the chance of "hitting the wall" somewhere in the middle as well. That's what happened to me. I felt that I "couldn't go any farther" with my limited budget, wasn't going to fill any more holes in the albums, was worried that I'd get taken if I bought something expensive (for me that is), and was diffusing out way too much with my inexpensive world coins. So I gave up on collecting, until (as most of you already know) Thalia Elizabeth got interested. This time, I'm trying to stay more focused and I'm gently guiding Thalia in that direction as well. Although "coins from 2000, coins from 1900 and anything with Queen Elizabeth" can be construed as not exactly focused, depending on how you look at it!
