<p>[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1323759, member: 11668"]Again, you're confusing "not worth more than face to you" with "not worth more than face to anybody". Just because a note is damaged, that doesn't mean it has no premium value. It has less premium than an undamaged example, but it may still have some premium. You may not want this note in your collection, but that doesn't mean that anyone who'd pay over face for it is uneducated or wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not all collectors want the best notes they can find. Some collectors want the worst notes they can tolerate, so as to be able to afford a larger and more varied collection. There's nothing wrong with selling finds like this to that audience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've pulled a number of $2 stars from circulation, ranging from much uglier than this one to CU. In some cases, I've sold the nicer ones and kept the uglier ones, because that gives me more money to spend on other notes....</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not going to suggest (let alone insist) that you, or the OP, ought to collect in the same way I do. But I'd appreciate it if you'd stop implying that nobody ought to collect differently than you do, or that nobody does collect differently than you do. A market for notes like this one does exist; that's my only point. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
