    You would probably find fewer coin collectors without OCD.

    I have CDO. It's like OCD but with the letters in alphabetical order like they're supposed to be.

    COD here. Much better feeling of symmetry, even if not perfect because of that blasted vertical in the D.

    I would agree that most collectors have some level of OCD.

    Yes. Medically speaking, we all have some mannerism rooted in OCD. Now, OCD, or obsessive coin disorder, we got lots o that round here...

    You mean like the drive, the compulsion, the focus, the overwhelming need beyond all else to acquire that one last coin to complete the set?

    Yep, in spades...

    I think this is 100% correct. PCGS thinks of this place as a pure complimentary service, but I think it serves the coin industry as a whole. it creates an environment that validates paying a LOT of cash for coins!!! probably more than any sane person would do in a room full of "non collectors"

    LOL, I'd say my OCD has at least fueled if not bred my collector's appetite. It's especially bad with coins but I have boxes of arguably the most useless junk I've been saving to give to my son (cards, old Star Wars toys, etc.)

    I'm sure I have it. I have a desire to have a nice collection, but a bigger desire just to accumulate mass quantities of the same thing.

    Threads like "If you can buy a particular coin whenever you want, why buy it at all?" really cause me a lot of stress.

    Seriously.

    When I want to sell the extra stuff, I can't bring myself to let something go, and when I force myself to, I regret it for a long time.
  • GeorgeKelloggGeorgeKellogg Posts: 1,251 ✭✭
    I think all serious collectors exhibit at least some obsessive-compulsive tendencies, but I would stop short of calling it a disorder. That is, unless it is causing problems for them.

    It was obvious that you were being sarcastic and I was just playing along.
