<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2404585, member: 17665"]What no one seemed to touch on is that every hobby, not just coins, has fallen to TPG's of some sort. Comics, stamps, lunch boxes, postcards, etc. If we all bought the books before the items we would all be as knowledgeable as any TPG. This last generation has only themselves to blame. Their faces are buried in cell phones, tablets, video games, etc. Laziness has led to making their own problems. How many of this current generation do you see in a library anymore? I go often and it is usually people 40+ that I see most times. I have an extensive library on hobbies of all sorts that I often sit down with on a regular basis and bone up on things I collect and do not collect. When the times comes to do tag sales, flea markets, etc., I am ready. You see it here when someone posts a coin that they think is valuable and refuses to take our advice and then says they are going to send it to a TPG anyways. I would blame no one but myself if I did not educate myself first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
