[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 308933, member: 8012"]Your question/problem is not simple. There is the word COLLECT which assumes you are doing it for the enjoyment If you are collecting to make money, than that is technically an investment. For example, I used to collect stamps. At the time (years ago), there was a possibility that they might be worth something someday. I still have two big stamp albums with a lot of stamps purchased in the 60's and 70's. Many of them are absolutely beautiful - but are worth about what I paid 40 years ago. I spent that money so long ago, that It doesn't even bother me. In any case, everyone makes the Invest/Collect error (myself included). But if you say you are COLLECTING something, the future value should have nothing to do with it. It's like collecting shot glasses or bottle caps. (and I know someone is going to say that shot glasses or bottles caps are worth something....) :)[/QUOTE]
