[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 5220194, member: 10461"]I think I'm going to pause for a while when I get to 100, and rename my collection "Lord Marcovan's Eclectic Hundred", rather than "Lord Marcovan's Eclectic Box Collection". For one thing, they're in slab albums now, not a box anymore, and if I stop at a 100-coin limit, I will revert to the old "Box of 20" rules (except with 100 pieces as my limit instead of 20). In other words, for every coin that gets added, I will have to remove one. Limiting your collection to a fixed number of coins is challenging, and it improves the individual coin quality over time, as you upgrade. But it's difficult to stick to, and requires some material detachment. I figure since I was able to stick to a Box of 20 from 2013 to 2016, I can more easily stay with a Box of 100 for a little while- maybe two or three years- before entering another growth phase, perhaps. But right now my Eclectic Box collection (formerly the "Eclectic Box of 20") is at only 84-85 pieces or so, so I've got a while before I hit 100 and begin another self-imposed size limitation.[/QUOTE]
