<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 398866, member: 5629&quot;]I think this is actually key to the whole question.&nbsp; Not just is there *anybody*, but actual <b>collectors</b>!</p><p><br /></p><p>It is assumed that there should be some form of common trust amongst collectors i a hobby.&nbsp; Obviously, there is very much so warranted mistrust of our collections to people that are not part of the hobby (including spouses for those that aren&#039;t lucky enough to have a Canadian coin collecting wife).</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are some collectors that I associate with that I would have no problem leaving my home and collection in their hands, so to speak.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question poses the question also that you would have associated with this collector also.&nbsp; This would include coin clubs, shows, etc.&nbsp; Since most of the collectors in person I have associated with are trustworthy individuals I have relationships with already, I do not think there are any I would not allow near my &quot;unlocked&quot; home or collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s not to say that there aren&#039;t some non-collectors who have been threatened with very painful retribution if they were ever found in or near my home office and cave, so to speak.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if speaking of online &quot;associations&quot;, then yes, I would have to say yes to both.&nbsp; But no to physical associations of actual collectors when it comes to anybody I wouldn&#039;t trust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
