[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3087016, member: 76863"]I'll never understand why people keep saying collectors are declining just because of their coin clubs. Collecting isn't declining it's changing/changed. It will always look like it's dying if people just look at how people used to collect 30 years ago.
