<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7832631, member: 105571"]You have quite a few holes to fill, and regardless of grade, some of those will be fillable at low to moderate cost and some will take a sizeable investment. When you have a lot to target, you can afford to search/shop for targets of opportunity. When I started on my type set, I basically decided the grade I wanted for specific types which translated roughly to the cost I was willing to pay for that coin. This allowed me to essentially say that I needed to keep cash available at all times for the most expensive coin on my list. That way, whenever I saw a coin that met my criteria for that coin, I could pursue an acquisition without regard to the question "Do I have the money for this?" If I found a nice example of a lower-priced coin, I could pick that up and then bring the "type coin fund" back up to the proper funding level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
