One of the most important aspects of collecting...

it's not about "investing" it's about collecting. My collection is my collection. I love the stories that are within them, but the books themselves I have learned I don't need to collect them anymore. Once my habit got up to $100 for new books and $75 for filling in old books I decided a drug habit was much more interesting and social, (smoking, drinking, partying.)

my art collection is an art collection. while I sometimes think of the value the pieces have on purchase, I know that the real value of them is value to me. Getting someone else to pay me what I think the value is, well that's just not realistic IMO.
