I guess I'm collecting Washington quarters now. . .

I was checking the pricing of Dansco albums (I'll be selling some in a few days) on eBay and came upon this fresh listing:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/225523979689?hash=item348246d5a9:g:o4QAAOSwiSJkNdFt

Sometimes eBay will offer something too cheap to pass up.
This quarter album was one of them.

So now I've gotta start looking for these?
Okay, I guess so.

Have you ever purchased something you had no intention of doing just because the price was too good?

    I mean I have a nearly complete set of Whitman Bookshelf albums, but only recently have I been buying duplicates to actually try and fill. I have one set of Lincolns and so many cool albums (Dansco, Whitman, Wayte Raymond, Meghrig) that I can't decide which one to store them in.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Well, almost but not exactly. Several years ago I was looking for a Washington Dansco as well. I only wanted a 32 thru 64 album but I couldn't find one. All the albums I was looked at had pages going into the 80's & 90's. I was just not interested in the clad stuff! The album I settled on went to 1980, so I bought it and filled it.

    Yes, several times, and resold later at substantial gains. I frequently see something (coins and other items) that has both immediate and future potential for gains. Sometimes the future gains take longer to realize, but I have the patience of a saint.... My wife says that is the only thing saintly about me.... :o:D Cheers, RickO

    No ... I can't say that I have.
