<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1811307, member: 56793"]There are entirely too many people preoccupied with value, deals, prices, how much, profit, loss, etc. within this hobby. I started when there was no internet, no buying and no selling. Every new coin was special to me and every vacation represented a new or different handful of coins. Throw into that, going through grandparents change jars, finds on the street and other misc. gifts, and I was one obliviously happy little boy. I am not going to change that innocent approach for all the "respected minds" involved in numismatics. Especially when their recommendation is to focus and learn from selling or paying too much. If I did this, I would find it to be a pretty limited and shallow approach to my hobby. If someone is going around and sharing this kind of advice, when they are no longer involved with coins on a personal level, darn right I'll choose to disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
