Mediocre space filler or glaring empty spot?

I'm a former mediocre space filler since reformed to be an empty spot guy.
I'm sorry, I just can't see a reason to buy a coin I don't like, that depresses me everytime I look at it and that I'll get hosed on when I inevitably upgrade it, just so I can say I have one. And who am I telling that to anyway? You people? Please. Do you honestly care if I have a 1723 Hibernia farthing and a 1724? Other than Wondercoin, probably none of you give two hoots. No, I'd rather have a gaping empty spot in my set patiently waiting for THE coin to arrive.
On the other hand, when you decide to wait around for THE coin you run the risk that some rich creep will show up at the auction dreaming about that same coin and his wallet may be larger than yours. Actually that seems to happen about 85% of the time.
So, is the correct approach that rich creeps should be empty spotters and people of average means should be mediocre space fillers? Because if thats correct, then either I need to change my whole outlook or get a much, much better job.
And are you allowed to say 'hosed' on the internet?

Here is my thinking... I buy what I like and will enjoy.
The not-rich man wins out best when they have the smarts against a not-smart rich man and then sells that to the rich man and maybe eventually become the rich man.
