I certainly agree Archie. Like so many others here, I've also collected coins & paper $$ for the last 40 years. I've pretty much have had to give that up so I could enjoy my new hobby. It also appears that ones collecting "habits" or "tastes" will continually change as well, though not always by choice. One could have been an LE collector, up to $25 face, for the last few years and could have afforded it. Now, it is difficult to keep up with all the chips at $5 face. Times are a changing aren't they..........but then again, I guess that's the way the world works.
