[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2341052, member: 19165"]I'm really not sure what you are saying turns you off? If I cherrypick something, I'm going to brag about it. If I buy something at a great price because I have superior knowledge, I am going to brag about it. If I have a great collection, I am going to brag about it. If I think my collection is superior in some way, I am going to brag about it. If I take great photographs, I am going to brag about it. I am not sorry at all if that offends you. There should be honesty, and integrity, and ethics, as with all things. But I'm not sure that is what you are talking about. There is science, and reason, and history, and facts associated with numismatics. No one will deny that. That is what makes it an academic and intellectually stimulating field of study (for some). But there is also passion, and excitement, and spirit - that is what makes a hobby. There is also business, and money, and investment, and profit. If these things offend you, you might be in the wrong place.[/QUOTE]
