<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 2438417, member: 1886&quot;]It&#039;s system fatigue. Most coin collectors start out with nothing more than too much enthusiasm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then as more coins are added,&nbsp; support is necessary- storeage space, supplies,&nbsp; books, subscriptions, memberships, seminars, videos, loupes, scales, microscopes, photo stuff,&nbsp; safety deposit boxes, safes,&nbsp; Jack Daniels. And don&#039;t forget the &quot;sword, pistol and vicious dog.&quot;</p><p>.</p><p>Ever notice how systems and organizations start out serving&nbsp; and end up being served? </p><p><br /></p><p>And it all happens faster now thanks to the internet. Depending on what someone is collecting, and how much money they have avalible, they can do in a fraction of time what used to take 20 years. How can that not cause a sense of diminishing marginal utility?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjV0YbxtJXNAhWKpR4KHSqlA7sQFggLMAA&amp;sig2=TrRd10gTjT7g6L1lBH7fdA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHqMu7e5RNAxqa5ERjSFC1ZcpnPEg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjV0YbxtJXNAhWKpR4KHSqlA7sQFggLMAA&amp;sig2=TrRd10gTjT7g6L1lBH7fdA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHqMu7e5RNAxqa5ERjSFC1ZcpnPEg" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/lawofdiminishingutility.asp&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjV0YbxtJXNAhWKpR4KHSqlA7sQFggLMAA&amp;sig2=TrRd10gTjT7g6L1lBH7fdA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHqMu7e5RNAxqa5ERjSFC1ZcpnPEg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And on top of that, we then&nbsp; admonish ourselves for thinking of coins as an investment. Why? Isn&#039;t that what we were thinking when we first got started? Will pretenting we don&#039;t have a mercenary motive to collecting coins cause halos to spring above our heads? No, it will just induce another crappy feeling that some roots are missing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
