<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1341571, member: 26302&quot;]I am sorry sir, but I drive an Escalade. Why do you think you can hate on people simply because of the car they drive? I tell you what, I put myself through college working 40 hours a week, AND doing ROTC for the money, AND being in the national guard all while carrying 18 credits. I paid every dang cent for my school, as I am not from a rich family. Then, I put myself through MBA program while working full time, and then taught MBA classes part time for money. Having said all of this, I still collected coins all of the while, but only what I could afford and roll searched. There is just as much ability to be a &quot;true collector&quot; of $5 pick bin ancients as there is of $1000 coins. Its the act of collecting and gaining knowledge that make you a collector sir, not your wallet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You don&#039;t know these people who bought these coins, you do not know how many decades they had to work to afford their hobby today, you do not know what they did with them. Did it ever occur to you maybe they were dealers or bought these coins to give to their children or grandchildren. I have bought 50 inexpensive Roman bronzes in a single transaction. Was I a hoarder? You would think so if you didn&#039;t know that I bought them to give away to 8th graders as part of their history class.</p><p><br /></p><p>For you to impune someone due to the car they drive is what is wrong with this country. You should not be mad at them for driving an Escalade, you should wish to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and strive to buy one yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my view,</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Love the photo Hobo, I almost fell out of my chair man. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
