[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3706715, member: 78298"]Some people collect. It's probably in the genetic nature of a human being. But other people hoard. One is acceptable and one is not. If you don't have any heirs what happens to your collection when you get old and then die? And I don't mean coins, it can be anything. Chances are whatever happens to it would kill you if you weren't already dead. And if you do have heirs, they aren't interested in what YOU collected, 90% of the time they are going to sell it for the money. Usually at some lowball offer, which again would kill you if you weren't already dead. I used to collect all kinds of things. After my house burned down, it was better not to have too much stuff and have attached feelings for these inanimate things. I'd like to sell off some coins and baseball cards, but it seems to be more trouble, time and expense than it is worth.[/QUOTE]
