<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3070397, member: 91609&quot;]Many times when we start collecting something, we have a certain mission or objective in mind.&nbsp; Then 30, 40, 50 yrs later we find that mission/objective has changed, sometimes multiple times.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I wish that 50 yrs ago someone jump started my thought process and instead of &quot;collecting sets&quot;, started looking for the best I could find in type sets, key dates, etc.&nbsp; So for example, while I have every cent (well, not Zincolns) going back to the mid 1870&#039;s &amp; sporadically going back further than that, many of them are not really quality specimens.&nbsp; While I have upgraded many of these over the years, I realized that it was not necessary to get all of them &amp; should have focused more on quality &amp; types (at least for ME).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re into this just for the fun &amp; entertainment, that&#039;s one thing, &amp; you don&#039;t have to be concerned about future values.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you&#039;re looking for increased value over time, then you must be more discriminating in your selections &amp; hunt for the best (in types, or key dates, or anything that makes that issue special, to you) &amp; pass on lesser specimens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
