Collection Maintenance - Not What You're Thinking

I have found that unlike most of the things that I collect, maintaining my Coin Collection is very easy

By "Maintaining", I mean adding new commemorative releases and older type coins to my sets

Due to "life", I can't always pay attention to the market, but once I get the bug, I find that I can catch up pretty quick

A benefit of this approach appears to be that I don't really pay more of a premium by waiting, it seems trying to get the newest releases commands the highest premiums

I did very well on my silver proof quarters and all of my Sac dollars but I had to have all of the newer Reverse Proofs and I was willing to pay more to get them now

I missed the boat on the 2121 Morgan/ Peace dollars but it looks like they are coming down in price

Currently, I am mostly caught up on my commemoratives sets, just have a few halfs and dollars to get.

I'll still hit the shops once in a while to find circulated coins for my type set but the rest of the binders will go back into hibernation till next year when the 2023 proof sets come out

So "catching up" for me is both fulfilling and kind of disappointing at the same time

Anyone else feel this way?
