<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1950593, member: 5233&quot;]I think you may have missed my point a little bit...I&#039;m trying to come up with an extreme coin example that I have experienced but I haven&#039;t been able to come up with one.&nbsp; But, the point I am trying to make is that to the right collector...something might have far greater value than it&#039;s market value or even it&#039;s cost to produce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me give you another example.&nbsp; Other than coins...I also collect sports cards.&nbsp; I&#039;m very specific in what I collect, but there are a few out there that I an searching for.</p><p><br /></p><p>My #1 card target is actually a &quot;nobody&quot; player.&nbsp; He is an old player who played back in the 1990s for the local college team and then spent a couple years in the NFL and never had much success.&nbsp; His cards are basically worthless (for the most part) but because I was a huge fan of his as a child...I have tried to collect all his issues.&nbsp; He had 49 total cards produced.&nbsp; He has 1 card that is extremely rare.&nbsp; In fact, only 1 was printed.&nbsp; It&#039;s unique.&nbsp; That is my &quot;white whale.&quot;&nbsp; Because he is a nobody...the retail of such a card is probably less than $10.&nbsp; However, to me...I might even be willing to pay 10x that if I ever came across it.&nbsp; If I dropped $100 for that card, in my eyes I probably wouldn&#039;t have overpaid.&nbsp; But, compared to the retail value, I certainly would have.&nbsp; But...to me, it&#039;s worth far more.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was my point.&nbsp; Each collector must decide what a particular piece is worth to them.&nbsp; Based on that...you buy it or pass.&nbsp; So, IMHO...few collectors truly &quot;overpay.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
