Tell us what you DO NOT care about!

We're collectors and we have a passion about this, or that, but all of us have some things that we completely DO NOT care about. Speaking for myself, I do NOT care about:
1. Liquidity in the coins I collect.
2. Coins that can be bought in quantity at any time at all, just for writing a check.
3. AT coins on eBay. (Women are getting raped, innocent people are in jail, and George Bush gets another four years and YOU actually care about an AT scam?)
4. Sample slabs. No explanation necessary, I'm sure.
So, what do you NOT care about?

Then again, I got my first star earlier this week. (Apparently, I don't submit a lot of nice coins.) So never mind.

but I also understand we all have are own nitch so what ever makes other collectors happy is fine with me, I just don't get very excited with the Moderns personally.

You come up with some really thought provoking threads.
1- Current liquidity in the coins I collect (future- yes).
2- MS-70 coins.
3- A star on a slab. Do they ever put a star on a sample slab
4- If a thread is OT. If I don't want to read it I just skip it.
5- If my ebay search has items I don't wish to view (I just skip those too).
Life is too short to worry with such problems.
6- What happens with my collection when I die (I'm taking it with me)

<< <i>Slabbed Modern Coins, with HIGH prices............in the end, BURIED
JMHO >>
This encompasses dozens of types and compositions of coins. Moderns have been
produced for two generations and as I understand it you don't care that they have
high prices nor do you care that people are going to lose a great deal of money on
the coins. Not that there's anything wrong with not caring about either of these but
you imply that slabbed moderns with high prices will tank (and that you don't care).
This implication suggests that you might actually care about one or the other.
I do not care to comment on any on any on-topic subjects.

Andy, If it helps, I'll send you a box of those little gold stars - you're a former grader - just add stars to the ones you like - I bet we could even come up with a name for them - How 'bout "EGSC"?
