<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JJohnstone, post: 32594, member: 2021&quot;]I&#039;m a journalist for InsideFlyer magazine, a publication devoted to frequent flyer programs.</p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;re working on a story that examines the psychology behind &quot;mileage junkies&quot; – i.e., folks who go out of their way to earn (and then largely keep rather than use) frequent flyer miles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without forcing any dubious comparisons between numismatists and mileage junkies, I&#039;m still compelled to ask: Are there coin collectors out there who are simply &quot;hoarders?&quot; That is, collectors who primarily just want to get their hands on as many coins as possible, without much regard for value or history?</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, where would the line be drawn between &quot;hobby&quot; and &quot;obsession&quot; in the coin-collecting world? How many hours a week does a collector spend managing and/or discussing his or her interest? Have messageboards like this increased the amount of time you devote to collecting?</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can no doubt tell, the story&#039;s in the early stages of development right now, but I&#039;d nevertheless be grateful for your input.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jeff </p><p><br /></p><p>Managing Editor</p><p>InsideFlyer[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
