<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1160409, member: 26302"]I think this is the great divide between collectors. Some of them seem to have a need to complete a "set", howevr they define it. It happens in all aspects of collecting, but seems to be more prevalent in US collecting, maybe due our books we put them in and the Redbook telling us what a complete "set" is. Others simply like collecting coins, and do not worry so much about a complete set, simply collecting what appeals to us, or as the other camp calls us, hoarding coins. I quickly found out I am not a "set" collector, and strike my own path as it were. I do have some minor "sets", like the anonymous bronzes from A1 to K, but not really by desire to have to complete the set, merely because I liked them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: See, me and SWThirteen are completely opposite collectors, and I think that is great![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
