[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2937281, member: 10461"]Here's my answer, which is going to sound like a cheap, flippant [I]non[/I]-answer, but I really mean it. In this sort of material, [B]collect what you like[/B]. (I have since adopted this as my main collecting philosophy across the board.) If you like it enough or pick up enough pieces, themes and specialties may eventually suggest themselves in due time. That is, if you feel you [I]need[/I] a theme or specialty. (Hint: you don't, though there's nothing wrong with finding some niche if you choose to.) I can think of lots worse things to "play around with" and sample than Greek bronze, too. That's a less-appreciated and relatively affordable field with plenty of opportunity for growth, research, and learning. Or just simple fun, if you're like me and sometimes say,[I] "This is cool. I like it. I want it. I can afford it. Why not?"[/I] For me, that is often enough.[/QUOTE]
