<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 8435631, member: 1886&quot;]One thing about pre Internet days was I never felt &quot;collecting&nbsp; burn-out&quot; or what IMO is really marginal decline in utility.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp" rel="nofollow">https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It used to take me months to find something that I wanted from&nbsp; dealer price lists&nbsp; or from a monthly show. All too often something from a price list was over graded bs and the coin show was jusy a trip to a recycling center. When I did find something I sent it off to INS to be authenticated.&nbsp; That was usually another three weeks if I remember right. They seemed to be the fastest and they always threw in grading for free.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was never &quot;collecting burn-out&quot; for me.&nbsp; If anything it was sometimes depressing to spend so much time on the so-called &quot;thrill of the hunt&quot; and have so little to show for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
