<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2803408, member: 15588"]Everyone has a different approach to this hobby and mine has changed drastically over time. This has also affected the holders I use. I used to hoard just about any coin I could grasp, even pocket change. Gradually, this overwhelmed me and I soon realized that I couldn't even remember what I had in my collection apart from some "prized" coins I had picked up. I then decided to focus purely on the coins that "stuck out" and gave me that warm fuzzy feeling when I thought of them rather than trying to simply get more and more and more. This not only saved me money, space and time, it simplified what types of holders I purchased. Since I now tend to buy only coins that I really really want I put them all into AirTites, which protects them from dropping, which I've done, and from over-handling, which I would do were these coins not in protective holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Others have different ways of collecting of course and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not claiming that anyone is doing anything incorrectly, because hobbies rarely have a "right" and "wrong." But I've personally found that having fewer and more meaningful pieces in my collection brings me vastly more pleasure than piling up coin after coin into mostly anonymous boxes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
