<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jhinton, post: 1408303, member: 24410&quot;]I tend to be the same way but not on a specific series. I tend to get that way about a specific item until I think I have found everything there is to know about it. For instance: I obtained a Western &amp; Atlantic Railroad .50 cent note because I collect obsoletes with vignettes of trains on them. With more research I found out that the specific engine pictured on the note was called “The General”. The General ran during the civil war and was involved in a union plot to steal it from the confederacy. It is referred to as the great locomotive chase and led to the first issuance of the Medal of Honor. I now have a book about it “Stealing the General: The Great Locomotive Chase and the first Medal of Honor”, pictures, postcards, silver art bars (Which are quite expensive) and I even own the original artists rendition of one of the molds for the silver art bar! One day I will display my “General” collection at a show. But that is just one example of how I “over collect” (as my wife calls it) of specific items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
