<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 289034, member: 8033&quot;]It&#039;s been touched upon before in a thread asking where all the stamp collectors are. Overproduction has had serious effects on the hobby of stamp collecting. One of my local coiin dealers used to sell a lot of baseball cards as well. Very few any more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a co worker that collects cards and has all types of &quot;high dollar&quot; cards but unless he sells them for same I find it hard to believe. By the way baseball cards are going through the same &quot;slabbing&quot; problems as coins to an extent and counterfeits are popping up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to subject though. Yes, I believe the mint is putting out way too much crap these days. I don&#039;t think it will affect coins as much as baseball cards or stamps though as the collector base is much larger. I do NOT actively pursue modern issue pieces other than silver proof sets and that&#039;s hit or miss.</p><p>On the other hand, I do not see older series&#039; taking a serious hit - guess that&#039;s one of the many reasons I like them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those that dump money into modern stuff can, at times, do very well. In the long run though the &quot;classics&quot; will prevail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
