<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 1735649, member: 12718&quot;]Take a look and think about coins when reading:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.psacard.com/Resources/Guides/TenTipsForBuildingACollection/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.psacard.com/Resources/Guides/TenTipsForBuildingACollection/" rel="nofollow">http://www.psacard.com/Resources/Guides/TenTipsForBuildingACollection/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The article&#039;s 10 points are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Select a Theme and Stick to It (a lack of focus will lead to serious frustration)</p><p>2. Buy Authenticated/Graded Collectibles (this will reduce anxiety as a buyer, increase opportunities as a seller)</p><p>3. Ask Questions and Educate Yourself (an informed collector is a happy collector)</p><p>4. Find and Buy from a Reputable Seller (a good dealer can be a great ally)</p><p>5. Consider Display or Storage Issues (thinking about space will help you reach a better place)</p><p>6. Avoid becoming a Bargain Hunter (be price conscious but not price obsessed)</p><p>7. Buy the Finest Quality you can Afford (you get what you pay for)</p><p>8. Manage your Emotions but don&#039;t be Afraid to Pull the Trigger (collect with your heart but buy with your head)</p><p>9. Value Expertise over Origin (provenance can add great value but there is no substitute for merit)</p><p>10. Keep Collecting Fun (if it&#039;s not fun, it&#039;s not worth doing)</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, there isn&#039;t only one way to collect (for example, must buy certified coins), but the advice (as well argued in the link) is valuable for building a satisfying and potentially rewarding collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, would you suggest this article for a new collector?&nbsp; Why/why not?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
