<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 575429, member: 5036"]I hoarded as a child, I was more selective in my teen years, I quit during my early 20's then picked it back up in my middle 20's. Then I learned there was other numismatic literature than just the redbook. I have loved the hobby ever since I started. I haven't always done the right thing or collected the best pieces, but it takes real time to learn what is a quality piece and will be worth something years down the road and what is just filler that you are throwing good money after bad into. I love this hobby, even though my wife thinks I am crazy for spending money to get money, and my co-workers think I'm crazy. I could try to explain it to them, but they'll never get it. The closest I come to other collectors is during my Wed night poker game where several of the customers from the local shop meet up to b/s and play cards. I wouldn't have it any other way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
