<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 71301, member: 1886&quot;]This, IMO, is the most important thing of all.&nbsp; Not just because that&#039;s the whole point of a hobby but because spending the time to enjoy your coins, ie, learning about them&nbsp; is a constraint on efficiency. The internet is wonderful and it makes the collecting possibilities almost unlimited. The problem now I think is that it&#039;s&nbsp; too easy and too fast. Even the hardest items to locate are still easier and faster to locate now than before the internet. It&#039;s all very efficient now and that, IMO, is a problem that will only get worse. For all the marveling we do about efficiency, IMO, it&#039;s&nbsp; just the fast lane to entropy. In other words &quot;burn-out.&quot;&nbsp; Buying efficiency is constrained by the time you spend studying and researching what you have bought. You won&#039;t burn out and you&#039;ll enjoy your coin collection, as your suppose to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
