[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 932523, member: 8012"]A comment about "value" and other hobbies. I was/am a stamp collector. Sometimes I hear coin collectors talking about the "history" of coins and so on and so forth. Well, stamps and especially cover collecting are REAL history items. How about envelopes sent to POW camps, then rejected and then sent again and then accepted, etc. A silly MS-64 WW2 era coin just doesn't give that sort of "coolness". And yet stamp collecting is in the "value" dumpster. Oh sure, if you have the equivalent of the MS-67/68/69 stamps, you're not hurting too bad. But if you just collected and didn't worry about future value, you most likely have a lot of paper that is worth very little. It's too bad. Hope the same doesn't happen for coins - but there are always those "nagging" doubts!!!![/QUOTE]
