[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 4027060, member: 76863"]While I have not read all your posts nothing you’ve ever posted really jumps out at me for what I was thinking of, but I do think it would be a positive if everyone reflects on it a bit. There’s certainly legitimate pricing discussions and things of that nature that can occur, but they almost always get the it’s modern junk or bullion crowd or I don’t need anyone’s opinion stuff and so on which is just uneducated at best to be polite. The I’m the best grader ever stuff and every professional is wrong if they don’t agree with me isn’t helpful either It’s just always blown my mind when so many (and this goes for many numismatic sites/videos/magazines/presentations etc) are like we have to grow the hobby, I’m worried about the future, hobby is dying etc and then are the first to attack things. It reminds me a lot of golf, we have to grow the game/hobby but only if it’s done exactly how I want it to be. The opposition to change is a detriment. The hobby is going to be just fine no matter what is written on forums, forums should be fun, for good discussions and it’s only once in a blue moon they really change the hobby in any meaningful way though some act like everything they type will shape the market. Collectors should try and enjoy the hobby more and not spend so much time trying to shape it to how they want it to be or being critical of what other people like. PS I actually do recall enjoying several discussions with you about the scarcity and future of moderns.[/QUOTE]
