<p>[QUOTE="cush66, post: 18233, member: 1401"]I voted no. In explaining I will probably confuse myself and others LOL!! In todays society almost everyone you meet is a collector of something. Most folks I met and even those I know well who consider themselves collectors actually collect something because it's a trend, they think it's valuable or it will make them rich beyond their dreams in the years ahead. For me I use the word loosely because It's too hard to say I am hoarder or procurer of stuff I like. I also like to think I am a wierd or a true collector because I collect from finding vs buying or tradeing. This in itself will never allow me to complete any true collection but I hoard/collect because I enjoy it for the thrill of the find and the uniqueness of the item vs investment for the future. On the funny side, every so often when I am with one of my "collector friends" I will deliberately have them go to the store with me and I will pay for my items using at least one silver certificate or a well worn walking liberty sometimes even a morgan dollar. The fun begins when my friends, someone else in line or the cashier argue about who will get that "rare and valuable coin/bill" hehheh. PS: sorry for the grammer and spelling...to lazy to learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
