<p>[QUOTE="AdamL, post: 625642, member: 6029"]I collect them because I enjoy it. I do know approximately what each one is worth. And before buying a certain date I do research about that date and its value. I plan on it being a complete set, and I will be upgrading some of them. After that I have other projects such as a type set. But I like Walkers so much I might do another set of them after I've worked on other sets for a while. It is in the back of my mind that if it were an absolute emergency like keeping a roof over my head, I could sell them. Having a hobby that saves money rather than throwing it away is a definite plus. All I'm saying is that I'm in numismatics for fun, not money. If my collection's value grows over the years, thats great. But its not my objective.</p><p>Now, I'm not really sure what the difference in the way you look at it is. I guess my question is, are you collecting with the intention of selling for a profit some day? If so, thats cool. Its just not really the way I look at it. I guess its just a different perspective we have here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
