![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good fun list with great insight. Number 17 may be true true for some, but I it is also true that it is never too late to start collecting. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're a "relatively new" collector, you can take pride in being a fast learner! I love your list. A few additions: IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Excellent list. 37. Pickiness increases as a function of experience and knowledge. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That 15% is the reason I'm sometimes able to afford treasures. As long as you get good at identifying things yourself, it can be a good thing for a collector. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() GREAT list. A few more: 38. After doing it for years, you'll look at the first few pieces you ever bought and say "What was I thinking?" IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cbc58, if you are new to this you are a quick study! Great observations, love #7. Here are a few more. The collecting bug can lay dormant but will never go away. Collections may start with limits but eventually they will deviate and transform into other areas not anticipated. It is much easier to collect what no one else does.
