[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3256092, member: 19463"]I'm with this plan. My favorite professor in college advised, "Learn something about everything and everything about something." General collecting is not undisciplined spending but leads to the goal of knowing something about everything. Specialists who never even looked at other things have a problem when they get bored or so close to completion that they never find a coin they 'need'. Today there is a sale closing that has a few coins I would like to win. About half are in my specialty areas and the other half are things I like that are not. Will I win one or the other, neither or both? There will be another sale coming soon. I can't win them all. I hope I win one worthy of making my 2018 Favorites list but more likely will be just another coin in my specialty.[/QUOTE]
