So are all collectors the same?

[QUOTE="Taffius, post: 490842, member: 9837"] So basically, does it make you anyless of a collector than the next when you collect this way? Great thread Lee. I think there will always be a element of "snobbery" when in herds. Luckily, the majority I see here are quite open to anything related to SW. Sub groups will form naturally and whatever bucket your put into, I just try to go with the flow and accept whatever someones beef is, thats their issue. Mutual respect should endure but differences get set. I could gain a huge collection in a short space of time if I threw every bit of money I had, all in. But, I have had more fun learning about a purchase than its monetry value. Whilst I am still within a collection development phase, I am cautious to buy expensive items because I havent the knowledge yet to determine a true value or originality. I could see your activities as a great method of learning and development. I can also see why perhaps a purist or one with with his own idea of ethics might see things differently. Let them look down while your too busy getting displays ready. Whatever they claim, just absorb it as one (their) opinion and carry on. I am on the fence with reseals as one day I could envisage being scammed by accident and deem the experience a waste of money if I wanted it as original. But what you do is your part of a diverse hobby. Each to their own I say! [/QUOTE]
