[QUOTE="Rono, post: 2684472, member: 6492"]Howdy, I guess I qualify as and old timer because I've been collecting since 3rd grade and I'm 68. Some would say that I'm a 'stacker' because I stashed all the 90% I could in the early 70's. However, I later sold it into the Hunt Bros. bull market in the late 70's to augment my GI Bill in order to finish my BA in Econ. During and after I used the expression that 'when silver was under $5 you should buy all you could.' [yeah, I guess this makes my an old timer]. I bought my first AGEs a POG of $335. As for the 'stacker' thing on youtube - feh. I don't see anything different today from years ago. Most of the stackers you are talking about are more in the survivalist camp than that of coin collectoring. You can normally tell by their rhetoric. And the bottom line is still from Tristram Shandy, " So long as a man rides his hobbyhorse peaceably and quietly along the King's highway, and neither compels you or me to get up behind him — pray, Sir, what have either you or I to do with it?" and so it goes, peace, rono[/QUOTE]
