<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 3225836, member: 76440"]That Middy Waters video is an interesting segue. About 20 years ago, I played blues guitar semi-professionally. I had built a considerable collection of guitars and vintage amplifiers. One night on a gig, Muddy Waters' piano player, Pinetop Perkins, sat in with my band for a half set. It was great fun. A few years later, I was no longer playing guitar professionally and slowly sold off excess guitars and amplifiers to fund other hobbies - ancient coins and restoration of an old sports car. I see this as a natural progression. Hobbies and specialties within hobbies ebb and flow. I recently consigned a chunk of my Roman Imperial silver to some January auctions, because my focus is almost entirely on Roman Republican coins these days, and I want to reallocate in favor of the RR. If I regret the move later, I can always buy more Roman Imperial. I think my collecting skill has improved over the years and I'd likely make better selections the next time anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I concur with [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER] - keep the few best Gordians and sell the rest to fund what currently excites your collecting passion.
