I was somewhat shocked last month when I went to a local show with the number of young collectors walking around with briefcases. Once opened rows of slabs met my eye.
This is not a hobby in their eyes, it is a stock exchange floor and they are trading on their futures. How can that be enjoyable? The romance of collecting has been dented to an unrecognizable form. B. T.
