<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1261445, member: 13650"]Yeah, don't worry about it. This can happen with hobbies. I have four main hobbies that I'm interested in but usually two or three are on the back burner at any given time. Let's face it. We all love coins but what do they do for you 24/7, 365? You look at them, stash them, and then focus on what's next. Some of us need more to do or think about than collecting alone. When I got back in, in 2008, I thought about coins 24/7. Just because I had so much to catch up on. But now, I'm comfortable enough, I can let it go for a month and not even think about coins.</p><p> Interests can change too. I collected as a kid, but when I hit highschool, I lost all interest in collecting, when I should have been focused the most. Can't change that now.</p><p><br /></p><p> I'd wait a long time before you sell stuff. Sure enough, it will come back some day and you're likely going to wish you had it all.
