I'd just like to say that SuperDave's cautionary essay is extremely well written and should be mandatory reading for anyone just entering the hobby. Well done!

Suggestion: perhaps Forum Mom & Dad might consider creating a new Forum section to contain selected, thoughtful posts on collecting issues. It could be a reference section of sorts, with entries of general interest that would be selected by the moderators. SuperDave's post is a perfect example of the type of article that merits a "reference" designation.

That is one thing I love about the NGC(Collectors Society) forum that I occasionally lurk on- they have a section titled "What You Need To Know"(WYNTK) and I have found it to be incredibly informative. For instance, a few of the thread titles are as follows- " inherited Coin Collections", "Original and Altered Surfaces, Both Raw and Slabbed", "What Does A Dealer really Pay For A Coins?", "Grading and Buying Coins Based on Images", and "The Difference Between Cleaning and Conservation".
