<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3717384, member: 74282&quot;]It&#039;s hard for me to have a limit for a few reasons. The first is simply that the style of collecting I enjoy is targeting comprehensivity, that is to say, collecting all types and varieties(except for control mark varieties) within my area of coinage and the list gets bigger and bigger each year. A year ago I would have said the total number at which point I&#039;d have nothing else to collect was &quot;around 2400&quot; when I generated a spreadsheet of everything in Crawford and then added several varieties discovered since its publication, but I&#039;ve added 20 or so to that ever-growing spreadsheet this year alone, a couple to my own collection. I suspect at some point it might slow down but I don&#039;t know when. For me I get a lot of joy out of finding new types and varieties in this area that I didn&#039;t previously realize existed so I hope it never stops.</p><p><br /></p><p>Outside of my main focus area of mainline RR I also collect provincials and imitations of those types. The only limit I&#039;ve decided to place there is that if I ever feel those side collections are getting in the way of my main focus I will likely sell them to focus more on the mainline coinage, but I&#039;m not there yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
