I think you should begin branching out in your Paper Money collecting research to investigate the performance of notes. Check prices realized from past Heritage, Stacks and Bowers &amp; Merina auction house results. I believe you will find and have a better appreciation for reasons to buy the very finest grades and examples of notes you can find and afford. The nature of paper notes scarcity in earlier Series and higher grades is such that money spent obtaining them can be a very smart use of your money both in potential resale value down the road and in assembling an excellent collection. It&#039;s advisable to be discriminating in your collection purchases and not just buy everything you want on impulse but I hope what factors I am reading concern you doesn&#039;t kill your excitement to collect. Keeping a balance is an excellent discipline for your financial future but don&#039;t forget to have fun collecting what you like too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
