[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 2617947, member: 69089"]Absolutely. "Collect what you like" should always be our mantra. That said, I have to admit that after paring down my holdings (I went from 500+ coins down to around 280) and focusing on buying better coins, I like the fact that my collection is now of higher quality and greater value. That was simply a by-product, however, never the objective. What I didn't like about having a larger collection, and what motivated me to scale back, was that it became overwhelming to me. It was like the old saying, "can't see the forest for the trees," except in reverse. I couldn't see the "trees" (i.e., the individual coins) for the "forest" (the entirety of the collection). I'll bet a lot of coin collectors have reached a similar tipping point. Sounds like you have, too.[/QUOTE]
