> political ramblings are no place for this list. .. because this will automatically split this haunted place into at least two opposing factions mirroring the election results in the USA.
> no one should be in this just for profit or > investment, buy something you love ... I have never considered my meteorite collection a financial investment. The opposite is true, ... my meteorite collection absorbs a lot of money. Its absolute (objective?) value would presently amount to several 10,000 dollars but if I ever intended to sell it, I would probably get no more than 1/3 this sum or even less (rule of thumb for stamps when I was a serious and passionate collector). Collectibles lose their inherent charm as soon as we see the money first like Uncle Scrooge does :-) That was also the case when I started selling some of my rarer stamps many years ago. As soon as I saw in them a potential source of making money, the joy, the charm these little works of art imparted was gone for good.
