[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 8460429, member: 19250"]Larry as collectors we are always out of control...but yes... I find myself drifting at times into other series,world coins,tokens etc...coins...but it never stops as a collector.... we gather...we pull out stuff others wouldn't even think of any value. Yet it gives us pleasure... and you cannot deny it... Here is a perfect example... the other day...I found down on my work bench a small piece of ply wood. The size was a tad bit bigger than a dollar bill....and the reason it was that size as it was .... it was the end block of a pack of $1000 one dollar bills. My father would bring these home for me from the bank ...way before they wraped blocks with plastic bands and bags...the money ..well $1 notes was a $1000 in a brick the top had the serial numbers and bank branch , and were steel strap banded together. I made bird houses for boy scout projects as well other things ...even wrapped sand paper around the board to use as a sanding block. Yet I still have 1 left....why? As it has no value to another ....other then a small piece of 1/4" ply wood. But yet I cannot toss it in the trash.... you're not alone.... nor are you crazy... you appreciate stuff ,find value....that others see no rhyme or reason...but again you do...and that's what matters my friend. Not being in or out of control... as you are in control....of what gives you pleasure in life...[/QUOTE]
