So are all collectors the same?

[QUOTE="Sundancer Squadron, post: 490847, member: 10545"] The sad mentality of a vast number of collectors that look down on others is nothing new and certainly not just within the SW collecting world for sure. I experienced this within militeria fraternity over the past 20 years, even wargaming and figure painting. I have have recently got back into the game, this time being apart of a forum (kept to myself before) and so far I have got just as much enjoyment from learning as i have with collecting. Having said that, i'm just as happy buying none mint lose figures as I am finding the near mint stuff that I still feel is plentiful. One thing I have noticed, is that those that are genuinely interested in collecting tend to become very knowledgeable on minute details that are often overlooked or completely ignored by some big high end snotty type hoarders? Its not just collectors though (ill use this term loosely here) but some venders/retailers too. Since coming back to the scene though and finding SWF, I have seen and and experienced some pleasant interactions with others here and this is important in making the hobby a good place to be in general, it also makes it less intimidating to those that want to dip their toes into collecting too. Its also good to see a number of you all going out of your way to assist others as well as making attempts to advise them of the vast amount of fakes and shoddy fraudulent activities of a select few within the community. I wont dwell on that to much, thets just increase all that is good to outnumber what is bad and the collecting world will be better for all in general. I hope this is somewhat readable at this ungodly time of the morning writing (stupid shift work) As always, looking forward to adding more none mint slightly yellowed plastic things to the collection :P [/QUOTE]
