The sport is trying to out collect the other guy..

 

find a good checklist to use..

 

even with a homerun, you still need to be aware of the stirkeouts
because there are more strikeouts than homeruns....

 

the next coin may be that homerun you are looking for..

 

look at the coin before you buy it

 

have a close look at details.. very few can grade their own coins..

 

do not let carboard touch your coin for any lenth of time, cause it to turn...

 

do not tape or glue a coin down..

 

A nice coin cabinet is very good to have..

 

doe's any one have a comment..?

 

Sorry, but I am not clear on the standards by which one is a "successful" collector as opposed to an "unsuccessful" one. Just how is that measured ? I mean I have a very good friend who does not collect graded coins but discovers varieties through roll searching. Is he "successful" as his 1400+ varieties may be worth $14 ?

Sorry, this implies that someone other than the collector determines the "success" of the collection I think. But maybe I got it wrong ?

 

there is a difference from collector to investor..you are right...

 

I was a collector but I think I have turnred into a hoarder, Just cant let any coins go. It is just contagious.

 

know what you mean..it is hard to pass them up, even when the price is low..grade is high

 

Believe me Buzzard, you are not the only one! I once in a while buy duplicates if I forget to update my wants list. A normal person would return it, but I tend to store it along with all the others.

 

yea those dup's well bite you sometimes..$$$$

 

Or not
