The true collector

BearBear Posts: 18,953 ✭✭✭
Does not collect coins out of greed, avarice or hormonal imbalance.

The true collector is indeed a compulsive, addictive personality,with

paranoid fears, that the world of dealers and other collectors are out to screw

him or her.Many are bipolar, going from the astounding joy of the recent purchase

to deep depression ,when asked by spouse, what they did with the mortgage

payment money. Most collectors have a deep streak of kleptomania. They must

fight the urge to grab a beautiful coin they lust over. but know that they can not afford.



In short, the true coin collector is a really sick person, with no aspirations to be truly normal.

They tend to associate themselves with other, like ,sick persons, especially at big meeting

rooms filled with equally sick dealers. It is indeed a sad state of affairs, but in the schizoid

world of the coin collector, all seems normal and rational.

    True coin collectors collect knowledge just as passionately as they collect coins.

    Maybe not so bi-polar as an intermittent mood disorder. The diagnosis is mostly irrelevant, the behavior pattern is certainly there.

    As far as successful treatment is concerned, I can only relate my favorite therapy joke:

    How many therapists foes it take to change a light bulb?

    Only one, but the light bulb really has to want to change.
