<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 24691010, member: 91609&quot;]Randy, I hear you, sometimes it&#039;s difficult to fathom what we see going on.&nbsp; But, (there&#039;s always a butt, but not always a but <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) coin collecting is just a vehicle to carry our individual psyche on our individual journeys.&nbsp; If we all thought alike, all our &quot;collections&quot; would be very similar, if not identical.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All it takes is one outlier (although, usually there are more than one involved) to upset our sense of it all, as this seems to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>So to some, like Evan states: </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>...but we all don&#039;t dip our toes into that water.</p><p><br /></p><p>And J.T. comments that:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>...but we know this business is very subjective &amp; we all collect (mostly) differently, making the word &quot;collectible&quot; very loosely defined.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember a while back many CTers complaining about &quot;Cleo&quot; grossly &quot;outbidding&quot; in auctions (I think mainly in ancients though), &amp; that was essentially the same thing. In fact, I get a similar feeling if I go to a dealership looking for a new truck...what the hell is going on??? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And after all, if we didn&#039;t have these constant anomaly&#039;s, the Red Book prices would probably be dead on. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I have learned is that when I miss out (or ignore) on a particular coin, it usually doesn&#039;t take long for another opportunity to come by, usually one I like even better. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m with Sal:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
