[QUOTE="BunkerTrapMan, post: 2314278, member: 75244"]Kyle, hello and Happy New Year! As mentioned before I am fairly new to this Forum but I am a quick learner. After studying several books, threads, auction sites, post auction sales and various Paper Money Dealer sites I think it may be safe to say that when it comes to collectability, quality and condition take second place to none. With the exception of rare items, stained (some call it Foxing I have learned), folded paper, wear, and most often overall eye appeal are diminishing factors for collectors. I was reading some threads here and a long posting member had repeated a phrase several times that I read. It went something like this; "Always buy the best quality you can afford, if you can not afford it then save until you can afford it". Quality is a selective choice of discerning individuals. Much like my work as in the quality of materials used to construct buildings provide for a much more solid structure, base and eye appeal of such buildings. Heck of an analogy huh? I sure hope you do not think I am being negative about your postings, 2 weeks ago I very well could have made the same post. Learning about all of this provides for an excellent opportunity to partake in Tylenol and a good stiff shot![/QUOTE]
