[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 837460, member: 112"]Something that may surprise a few around here - I used to collect ASE's and AGE's. Had pretty much all of them in 70 grade too, multiples even. Bought 'em when they were cheap and watched 'em climb in value. Thn when the populations of the coins in 70 began to increase, I could see the handwriting on the wall. And began to sell them off. Soon they were all gone. Then prices began to drop, and drop, and drop some more. So when I talk about the futility of collecting these for an investment, I do have some experience. I have been on both sides of the fence. I am not just some old fashioned collector who is stuck in his ways and that thinks that anybody who does differently than me is a fool. But I do think that those who refuse to listen to others who have gone before them, others who have already done everything that you are doing now and done it years before you ever even thought of doing it - yup, I do believe they are fools. For those who do not listen to the lessons of history - are doomed to repeat it. Now is that being "snarky" ? :D[/QUOTE]
