<p>[QUOTE="aimzb, post: 951062, member: 26587"]From a newer guy to a fairly new guy, I say do it. I'm certainly not in to make a profit, ala fifty's post, so the cost is fairly irrlevant to me. It really probably depends on what you want to do. For me it is the thrill of the hunt as well as the adrenaline rush when I find something decent to good. I am sure that will eventually wane and I will start moving towards trying to get some sort of a return on my investment. As it is, though, I just call the local banks and ask what they have "in stock" and then go pick it up. I've probably spent $5 total in gas, $10 for the '11 Red Book (thanks Amazon!), and got all my wrappers for free from the bank I use (thanks Regions!). For all of that I've already found roughly 30 40%s and 7 90%s. I'm making money without even trying. But like I said, that's not what this is about for me (yet). </p><p> </p><p>If you are doing this for fun and as a time filling hobby, go the roll searching route and go with whatever you have an interest in. If you're in it to make money, ignore me and listen to these guys that have been doing this way longer than me. </p><p> </p><p>Just my $.02.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
