<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1027078, member: 26302&quot;]Has anyone brought up that maybe the collector was &quot;finished&quot; with the set and it no longer had interset for them? So many collectors get into the habit of just trying to complete a set that by the time it is done there is no fun left. It was the thrill of the hunt that drove them there, not the actual coins. Many collectors have sold off complete sets just because they were now complete. I thik this is wonderful. There are only so many collectible coins in existence, and a collector willing to sell off enables new coins to come onto the market. Many of these same collectors go back and assemble new sets, proving it was the hunt that they crave. I am sure some experts can name names, Brown comes to mind off the top of my head. Less famously, I had a friend that completed a Roman Emperor set. By the time he acquired his Gordian I, (the last one needed by him), he said it wasn&#039;t fun anymore, and hadn&#039;t been for the last few emperors. He sold them all off and went in an entirely new direction, collecting Celtic, and has been happy as a kid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
