[QUOTE="Michael Sith, post: 425745, member: 4511"] I've always collected on a budget, I really enjoy a piece for its collecting worth to me as opposed to its intrinsic value ( which in a lot of cases is overinflated in my view). Therefore reseals are absoloutely fine for me, even to the extent of putting a nice cardback blister and loose figure together and resealing for my collection. It's never going anywhere, will stay with me, and for me it's bringing a piece back. You have the fun of researching which figure goes with that particular cardback, in the case of Tri Logo, which blister type to put with it, so you improve your knowledge, and add to your collection, the piece you have has a backstory to you as well. It's horses for courses, some people want mint, and I get that. Baggies for me have opened up a whole new world, and allow you to go off in all sorts of directions, again you learn, ( massive thanks to Frank for his baggie guide, and his baggie knowledge, which benefits our hobby in a very big way). I think that's the thing really for me, as I have always maintained, it's about collecting for you and what makes you happy, as opposed to what you perceive others "expect". Make a contribution in anyway you can to the hobby as you collect, " meet" some fantastic guys, as I have done on this fantastic forum. Long may it continue :wink: [/QUOTE]
