<p>[QUOTE="David Hughes, post: 2052069, member: 73184"]Well it isn't that I don't use the internet, I never said that. But a book is a way to keep refrence. I can (when the power is out) go grab my book any day any time and check something. I have heard so many times about the internet being free. Yes its free and a book will cost you money, lol but if people are worried about a $20.00 book then I can only imagine what kind of a collection they have. Maybe that is the difference between me and most. I don't grab any old coin and cram it into a hole in a book. I like my stuff to be matched as close as possible to the set. I don't see a hole in my pennies and grab a cent off the ground just to fill it. If most look at the cost of a set of pennies( with one coin AG and the next one AU and the next one XF and so on) that are made of fillers then look at the same set in AU and then one in MS you would see that the set of XF coins will be worth more then the set that has no uniformity. I don't build a set of anything to just say I have it. I am proud of what I have collected because it took time and perseverance to get it. I didn't throw it together in a couple of days. I want my time to be worth something. </p><p> If people don't have time to learn that is up to them. I'm not a wealthy person but I take PRIDE in ALL I DO. No one said you have to buy a book heck I'm not an author of any. I don't get a cut off them. I don't care if you have a collection worth looking at or not. It is all each others own idea of what makes them HAPPY. if you just want to throw a bunch of junk into a book, then I think that's a good thing. If you want to build a race car with no engine good. I do what I do because that's what I do. If you don't want to be able to collect with your children, cool. Its all about what each person needs and wants. </p><p> If your having fun "THATS ALL THAT MATTERS" isn't it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
