[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1981569, member: 36248"]My Meme is a humorous commentary on the "bigger, better, faster, more" aspect of our hobby. The concept of a "box of twenty" is that you limit your collection to a select 20 coins, and you don't upgrade a coin without first selling off another (weaker) coin from the box. In this sense, you avoid "collection sprawl" and stay disciplined on quality and specialness of each coin. Well, I set out to do a box of twenty, just like many collectors. But when I got to twenty I just kept going, first 40, then 60, and I'm sure in 12 months it will be 80 coins!! The Meme is all about being honest about the coin hobby, and it's addicting aspects. It takes a VERY disciplined collector to actually adhere to the Box of 20 concept, and I am clearly not one of them. :oops: So, in that sense, the average collector is incapable of keeping it to 20 coins, even if it was their explicit goal.[/QUOTE]
