" Good Morning Mr. Phelps..." I have decided to go on a new mission in this "Hobby of Kings". Some of you probably are aware of my recent thoughts on this? I already had cashed in on the majority of my collection. I have decided only to be that "Cherry Picker Guy"! meaning, I will no longer keep or collect any coin/coins. All that I will be doing is Cherry Picking, then flipping them for profit. Please don't get me wrong, I still and always will still love the beauty of "The Coin" aspect. It's just I don't feel that I should hold on to any coins for such a long time. What's fine for one, might not be fine for another. I realize that there will come a time during my picking that I will come across an outstanding and fantastic coin, feasted upon my eyes and say, "buy me!!!". I will just have to resist. LOL
One More Thing... Is there anyone else going or has gone already in this direction of the Hobby? Oh well, off I go after my Mission that I hope won't be Impossible? (meaning, satisfying as when I collected)

I think that by not "collecting" you will severely affect your ability to Cherrypick.
Looks like you're a dealer now.

You know what? That's exactly what I was thinking but without the traditional B&M. also, I won't be doing this for a financial living as most Dealers tend to do. I look at it as a New Hobby in coin collecting. That's another thing, am I still considered as a collector? HMMMM?

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I made the same decision years ago. It hasn't made me rich, but I've made some decent money. I started collecting wristwatches to appease my collecting bug. I like them because I can actually use them as opposed to making visitations to my coins occasionally at the bank SDB vault. Every once in a while I find a coin I keep (like my VAM discoveries), but most of my picks get flipped.
Good luck to you.
This.
You will actually handle way cooler coins and a lot more of them than you can as a collector.
It actually makes bidding fun, that is if you win, you get a good price and no big if you lose to a higher bid as the higher bid would start to squeeze margins.
I Thank all of you guys for all the encouraging as well as, the not so encouraging.
