Message:: [QUOTE="oz_in_ohio, post: 3373629, member: 89534"]I agree with you to an extent...It really is a hobby but can have some capital gain....Unlike you, my kids will get nothing...I am going to sell what i have, spend and enjoy it and the rest will go to my wifes side of the family . I have lived in USA for almost 8 years and i have not received an email, letter, birthday card, etc etc etc from my 2 kids...So with the money i did have, instead of leaving it to that ungrateful pair of so and so's, i bought HRC pins, gold coins and banknotes...Stamps are finished and only should be used on shipping packages...I am not going to clog up this spot with pics of the packages but with over 40 years experience in buying and selling philatelic and numismatic items, i now want to enjoy them... I sold a dozen krugerands fore just bullion since i have been in the states and have been on 3 cruises...West coast, New England and Alaska.... I am not the average collector anymore as the hobby is fading away...People like myself ( over 60 years of age ) understand the hobby but the kids growing up only want mobile phones or something electronical like computers or games...Call me one eyed if you must but in time when you see i am correct, i will say i told you so...I know this as i have seen it from the mid 1980;s to present with the lack of intrest from the younger generations of today.....OIO[/QUOTE]
