<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevereecy, post: 4811171, member: 19884&quot;]Hey guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I’ve decided to start my own thread regarding my box of 20. The idea here is I will update the thread as I get new acquisitions/upgrades.&nbsp; I’m going to focus a lot on the process and challenges of collecting like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don’t know what a box of 20 is, briefly: you start with a box that will fit exactly 20 coin slabs and you fill it with nice coins. Once the box is full, you are required to remove or sell a coin to add another in its place. The idea is that over time you will upgrade the collection.&nbsp; Note that I understand there are some very nice wood boxes being produced that hold 27 (or so) coin slabs. I reserve the right to expand up to that kind of box but I will not exceed it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to adhere to the rules very strictly. I collect many other kinds of things and my hobby money competes for attention. So I will not be impulse buying other items or expanding beyond 20 (or 27).&nbsp; &nbsp; Furthermore I’m going to have to send off a bunch of things to be graded just to get to about 17 items in the short run. So the box isn’t fully fleshed out yet. If you follow this thread you’ll get to see me wrestle with the frustration/tension of hitting the limit of 20 and upgrading.&nbsp; I don’t know where this journey will take me, but I’m fascinated to find out what will happen when I hit 20 items and begin upgrading. Follow along if you like.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Fair warning that sometimes I put coin collecting on the shelf for months or years at a time. But I don’t think I will do that using this method. This is a collecting style I can stick to.&nbsp; If this thread gets extremely home, feel free to nudge me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here is the box: (Notice it’s not full and many of the holders aren’t “graded slabs”...that’s coming)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167126[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
