-
- Personally, I think people should collect whatever makes them happy.
- I don't look down on other people's coin collections, because there
- really is nothing objective about what is better.
-
- I have sensed resentment from other coin collectors towards cards.
- I think it's because coin collecting is at a low point, while cards
- are doing well. I don't mind because coin prices are lower and there
- is more material for me.
-
- IMHO, coin collecting's problems can't be blamed on card collecting.
- Unaffordable prices, dishonest dealers, and pricing dependent on
- minute differences in detail drove many away from coins, I think.
