Good natured camaraderie and jargoning. Accommodating hosts. A Win-Win! I was 13 in 1968. I never was even CLOSE to being a flower child. I was “Alex Keaton” before Michael J. Fox ever read the -script. I think the role was based on me. The difference was that Alex Keaton’s GIRLFRIEND attended Franklin & Marshall College. I real life, I DID! I fought my liberal professors tooth and nail for four years. Still, 6 of 8 semesters on Dean’s list.

Treeman Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) I used to collect Large Cents, sold them to finance My antique tractor hobby. More fun, generally friendly people. I still check out the forums here, just to see certain egotistical people implying that collecting is not fun, but must follow their ideals. Kind of weird when people are destroying the hobby by looking down on the ones who just want to enjoy collecting. I'm starting to think you might have to be a pompous a-- to be a "true" collector....

Henri Charriere Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 "Implying that collecting is not fun"? You've been here a lot longer than I have. I have read a great deal about certifications and raw, albums vs. Set Registries and perhaps being amused by collectors' respective areas of interest, but I would not go so far as to suggest there are those who would imply that "collecting is not fun," or adversely affecting the hobby by belittling those whose interests diverge from theirs. We might good-naturedly needle those whose obsessions are a bit over the top, but that's about the extent of it. I love old copper. Thanks for dropping in.
