<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3498017, member: 74968"]I would never look down on you or anyone else for what they collect. I love the fact that collectors are as diverse as their collections. I really enjoy seeing what attracts others. I admire many differing collecting paths. I can see the value in not having a strict focus and collecting what you are attracted to, and I can also see the value of a focussed collection no matter what that focus is. For example Doug I really enjoy reading about and seeing your Severans though I know nothing about them and really cannot make any intelligent comments about them. I would never tell you or anyone else not to collect them.<font size="4"> I have been told on this board a number of times that collecting the 12 Caesars is somehow a lesser pursuit because it is popular and not worthy of serious study. I feel that I have learned a considerable amount from my collection though this learning will never be complete. There is always more to know. </font></p><p><font size="4"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
