Munroe,
Nice comments.
While I don't like to think of losing money, and I like to be able to sell or trade my stuff in the future as my collecting interests alter somewhat, the fact is that it is a hobby and not an investment for me.
Some people spend all their money on restaurant meals, drinks, cigarettes, movies, sporting events, etc. Things which are gone ater they are consumed. Much of mine goes to my hobby.
I am paying for the pleasure of the hunt, the anticipation of a new purchase arriving, looking at it, reasearching it, cataloguing it, displaying it, etc.
