[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3013131, member: 83956"]I think it’s fair to say that Clio and I will never cross paths—or bids—in an auction. I’ve often thought about how I would collect if I were independently wealthy. And I’ve come to the bizarre conclusion that having unlimited funds would probably ruin the hobby for me. Right now I can afford to purchase only one decent coin a month, or perhaps a couple of lesser specimens. Part of the hobby for me, then, is seeing how far I can stretch my limited dollars. Scrolling through VCoins or auctions or even eBay for a good deal. Reading up on the coin before I buy it. Or until I can buy it. I think those aspects of the hobby would be diminished if I could pretty much buy anything and everything that struck my fancy. This is not to say that I wouldn’t like a little more money in my current budget. But it is to say that there are a lot of ways of enjoying this hobby. Actually acquiring a coin is only one of them.[/QUOTE]
