<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1156336, member: 22729&quot;]Good thoughts Chris. I try to follow that advice as well, but in some areas of interest I pretty much have to buy what&#039;s available if I want an example of a particular piece. I&#039;m thinking mainly of counterstamps where many, many of them are unique and most others are very rare. Some never become available, or only once or twice in a lifetime. The choice is to buy, or probably never have one. It&#039;s true to a certain extent with my obsoletes also. I bought the Temperance Glassworks private scrip even though it&#039;s not in the best of shape. Will I ever see another example for sale, and if I do will it be of a higher quality? Probably not. Walter Breen used to say that condition was irrelevant when dealing with extremely rare and historic coins. Granted though, most of the things we collect don&#039;t fit into that category, so your advice is sound and worth considering. Thanks for your thoughts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
