Do you know any "numb-mismatists?"

Presumably, we've all met a few -- depending on our personal definitions.

I could fit the picture.
But sometimes I think I'm not "numb" enough.

I'm comfortably numb right now
Most dealers on Saturday afternoon of a major show, if they are still there.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
...skin so thick could be a numb-mismatists' symtom?
I've become less and less excited by great coins as of lately. Yesterday I handled a 1895 Morgan PR64 in an old green holder with lovely original color and slight cameo. Meh wasn't interested.
Most would probably describe me as a dumb numismatist...I don't care about grades, I prefer circulated to MS, I view quantity as quality and more. Is that close?
I was numb for a while last week....dentist appointment..
... followed by a great meal with copious quantities of Cabernet....an additional numbing effect....Yes, on occasion I have been a numb-mismatist....even enjoyed it sometimes... 
Cheers, RickO
I see a lot of numbness, these days, but a lot of passion still exists, as well.
I, myself, have always been passionate, even though I have had dry buying spells. I think that I will always be this way....numismatics has SOOO much to offer.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

I see one in the mirror every morning but he always walks away without saying anything.
The one I see says stuff.
Too much of that hippie lettuce?
