Tim,

I didn't mind the question or the choices and I don't feel insulted at the question.

I collect them because I like them. If they go up in value - great. If they don't - so what. If they go down - so what - I'm not going to sell them. You can buy a sofa for $1200 and in two years it's worth $150 but no one raises a fuss at that. A car is purchased for $15,000 and in two years it's worth $9,000. When I want to make money, I buy stocks when the price is low and sell when it's high. But please don't say that my intelligence is questioned because I simply choose to collect because I LIKE THEM.
