[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8104189, member: 24754"]So far as revived threads go, I don't mind this one so much. I missed it the first time around, this type of thing is fun to think about, and I enjoyed reading through all of the posts! I really enjoy building collections, but I think my approach would be different if I had unlimited funds at my disposal. When you start getting into the upper echelon of collectables, the problem is that you end up with one or two items that make the entire rest of the collection look like silly fluff.

So, if I were a billionaire, my collection would be the most valuable individual example of each type of collectable that I could get my hands on. For instance, it would go something like this: Ancient Coin: Eid Mar Aureus Modern Coin: 1794 US Silver Dollar Baseball Card: 1911 Honus Wagner Bottle of Wine: 1945 Romanee-Conti Barbie Doll, Gun, Video Game Cartridge, Book, Stamp, etc, etc, etc.[/QUOTE]
