<p>[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 318553, member: 8247"]I like that people know I collect, it increases the chance that htey will set stuff aside for me. But no one knows the extent of my collection. As mentioned by others, if I show my collection to someone, what I show is highly dependent on the person I'm showing it to. I keep everything in two old, old, old, railroad safes. It would take at least an F250 to take one of them and even then, a lift gate would be impractical. Chances are, even if someone comes prepared, they won't be able to take both. They probably won't even get one as I have them pretty well obstructed and just getting them out of the house would be a feat (I can't wait for day we move to a new house, NOT).</p><p><br /></p><p>Most people (and this is true for the most part) believe that my collection consists only of items I've pulled out of circulation and that the most valuable thing I have is the $1000 bag of 40%Ag Kennedies I'm working on. When it's full, I sell it, therefore, whereever I am in the bag, is about the most anyone could expect to extract out of me (and maybe some old bills that are probably not worth much more than face value).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
