<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3716665, member: 76194"]Do any of you have limits on the size of your collection? Or am I the only one? I ask because a year ago I decided that I would limit myself to 200 coins max. I'm about 2/3 of the way there, or maybe more (haven't counted my collection yet this year as I'm still adding). Once I reach the 200 max, I'll probably sell 5 or 6 and buy myself a nicer coin with the money, and have room to buy a few more until I reach the cap of 200 again. Rinse and repeat and it's a way to slowly upgrade a collection over time and add quality, instead of just adding for volume.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why this limit? Because I figured that's the maximum I can collect and still remember what I have without having to consult a catalog, and to still remember certain key things about each coin without having to look it up every time. What good is collecting if I can't even remember what I have when someone posts a coin in the forum, and having to go look it up to see if I have anything relevant to share. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, let me know if you have any limits to your collection size, or if you think I'm crazy.
