To thursdaychris and all others in the same boat including myself. OAP, believe I still have my faculties, have what I believe is a fair collection BUT, now beginning to realise that I’ve bought suspect pieces and thinking that my years remaining are less than I hoped. Plus, beginning to worry about what becomes of a collection once the custodian has passed.
So here’s my take on the situation. Over the last few months, I’ve made up a number of albums for members to peruse at their leisure. Primarily so that one can look at pieces back and front in most cases and decide if that might be a piece they would add to their collection or not. I’ve been a member 13 years and believe in enjoying (or even envying) other people’s badges or collections so that in a very small way, I thought that I was putting back into the forum. So, Chris and others, enjoy what you have, enjoy what you may see from others, and above all, never give up. I’ll still be around, still looking for the Holy Grail!
Carpe Diem! David J.
