I recall you very older brother , he would call us together and show us endless slide photos of his travels ! ! !
it as fine for him to relive the journey but you can only enjoy so many trees or sagebushes before boredom overwhelms you ! ! !
Is important to have a few laws or rules ; especially hen collecting. Otherwise others are very turned off from your passion.
There are people who collect those old metal ancient tractor seats, a bit of curved metal with holes in . . .
People try and collect every different style lumberjack axe ever made worldwide, but do e think the old time farmers or timber lords are impressed ; I doubt it ! ! !
Your coin collection and banknote currency collection NEEDS to speak to YOU !
But you need some coherent focus so your collections speaks to others as well.
Set yourself timetable and a budget and decide what makes a coherent focus to follow.
I know some people like to grab whatever they like , but if you focus more ; eg. Argentina or Israel people will at least get the idea of hat you were trying to do / collect.
I myself like 1/4 oz gold coins ; my aim is to collect every 1/4 troy ounce gold coin in grade 70; ever made.
I have heard that jeff bozos ex-wife is back on the the dating circuit so maybe I can realise my collecting dreams with her financial backing ! ! !
In addition I am assembling a world type set of graded 67+ banknotes ; one for each country.
I enjoy the hunt and hope someone one day will try and understand the logic to my collecting madness ! ! !
So enjoy your collecting and the way you collect and why but have some policies to keep your collection focused in certain directions and to let others know why / ht you aimed to achieve ; after all you know your collection best ...
