When you're on a roll, you don't want to stop!

It's an addiction surge; I'm guilty of it.

When a NewP comes-in greed takes over and you want more.
But I calm myself down and say, "Be patient, coins will come.
Stick to your outlined goals and don't rush to completion. You
will make it to the finish line in grand style and your collection
will be commemorated as such. Enjoy what you have and
don't long for what you don't."

This is where I'm at in one of my collections; just passed 2/3's
completion and I've got an itch which I desperately want to
continue scratching. But new pieces just aren't available on
the market at the moment, and that's close to driving me MAD! image

I've reached the point where it seems reasonable, if not down-
right necessary, to sell all the coins which are not part of my
MAIN collection and put those proceeds towards NewP's! Yet
I know I will be disappointed when I sell those coins because
of the stories and connections I have to those coins. image

YEP, I'm a --> image

    Well, the first step is admitting it. image The next step is to indulge, which brings me to a posted quote of yours:

    "Enjoy what you have and
    don't long for what you don't."


    This goes completely against our recent cultural mentality.......that's why we're in deep doodoo.

    patience is the key, but it seems nice coins run 5 or 6 in a month then nothing for 6 or 8 months, keep your standards but be ready if that faucet keeps flowing
