[QUOTE="debordj, post: 2022416, member: 23344"]A very interesting question indeed. What rivals coin collecting? Most are talking to what their passions are, but what rivals the coin world is a tough one. At first I thought of a few potentials: - Car Collecting - Art Collecting - Gun Collecting All have very high end examples that rival the rare and expensive world of coin collecting, but none have the lower end potential. You can collect coins literally for pennies on the dollar or spend in the millions. You can't buy a car for a penny, pick one up off the street and you will get arrested but you can find a penny in the gutter and collect it. Art - may be the closest because you could make your own for low $s. Guns - high prices, but also no low fund examples. So some others: - Sports Card collectors - no where near the history as coins or longevity. - Comics - not bad...been around longer than Sports Cards but the high end is limited. - Books - this could be the closest to coins. Lots of collectors, low end ability and high end classes. Lots of history. So, that is my assessment - Book Collecting is about the closest that I can think of. Is the digital book to their collecting what the Bitcoins are to ours (joking).[/QUOTE]
