So are all collectors the same?

[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 490803, member: 4095"] I'm totally with you Lee on the enjoyment of putting back together damaged items and making them whole. Years ago I decided to sell all my Kenner 12 back mocs and focus on a resealed Palitoy set and I get so much more back from those than the sealed Kenner mocs ever gave me. It's each to their own with collecting and as has been said it does feel like you're collecting for the wrong reasons if it's not for yourself. I can see why some people might turn their noses up at some other collectors collections but seems a bit shortsighted to think the only way of collecting something is the way you do it, it's completely up to the individual. Even though the thought of having a sealed Palitoy 12 back run is appealing in one way I think the stress of tying all that money up in something like this would out way the enjoyment I would get from having them so I'm happy as I am. That's just my personal feelings on this and I know everyone feels differently so it's up to the collector to decide what they're happy with. If people want to put others collections down then I know that's the sort of person that I don't really have much in common with. For me it's about collecting what I like, seeing others collections and getting to know people along the way, what more can you really ask for from this hobby of ours. Ian [/QUOTE]
