<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2250905, member: 23368"]I guess I'm a collector, however; I have certain parameters I follow. After collecting for many years, I have now reached my limit in the value to what I want to own. I have completed a fair amount of sets over time. Once I complete them, and the chase is over, I'll own them for a few years and then sell them outright. I usually break even for the effort. I take the new funds and start another but different set, and follow the same routine. Simultaneously, I have begun to channel monies into paper currency, creating a new source of enjoyment. Currently I'm condensing the collections to fewer pieces but each remaining piece of higher value. I believe it will be easier for my children to liquidate when they eventually inherit it. I have found selling currency to be just as interesting and enjoyable as buying it. To sit on both sides of the table in the numismatic process, makes you understand the nature of our hobby to it's fullest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
