<< <i>Why are pride and ego such pre-emminent characteristics of so many collectors??

It's like, when Navin stepped in crap and took pride in doing so in the movie, The Jerk. And his dad was there to boost his ego when he did. Buying coins is the same thing. It just takes longer for some to realize that than most others, that they actually have been buying crap and taking pride in it all along the way. It's just amazing how some folks think and they're right up there for everyone to see!

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
Can we lay off the French and talk about the German's fascination with David Hasselhoff instead?
I've been to France four times a year for the past 25 years and I can tell you from my experiences that all but two times I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the French and France in general. One of my bad experiences was over a Lance Armstrong yellow wristband believe it or not. So 98% of the time it's been all good. I can tell you that 50% of the time I go to Miami, LA or DC etc I can find something to grip about (people related).
To Keets point the French have disappointed the Americans quite a few times. However, our record in the world is also less then stellar in the eyes of others. We tend to look at things through red, white and blue tinted glasses. JMHO. MJ
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Did we not just have a thread about who was the best golfer on the Forum Wednesday? I guess when I can stack my coins higher than yours it becomes a symbol of whose is bigger. But someone said most coin collectors were male.

Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.

i used to work with a guy who looked eerily like Hasselhoff, so much so that when we'd page him off the production floor that's who we'd call for(and he'd always respond)!! of course, we also had a guy that looked like Joe Dirt so it really reinforced the old saying that everyone lloks like someone.
