[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 496550, member: 8868"] I only created a Facebook account within the last year purely for the collecting groups and to keep in the loop with other collectors. I've never liked Facebook and how invasive it can be, not to mention the cliquiness that follows a lot of the groups. Which is why I prefer the forum by far. To me it provides exactly what a hobby like ours needs; a platform for discussion, learning, sharing knowledge and making friends. I'm not saying the FB groups don't offer any of that, it just seems you have to wade through all the circle jerking and mutual rimming in order to find the worthwhile content. Personally, compared to a year ago I am being far more selective over what I collect. I'm certainly not buying up all the goodies I can find. That may be as much to do with my own personal reflection on what and why I collect as it is to do with how my collection has built up over the year and market forces. I hear a number of people mentioning a little fatigue with collecting and many re-evaluating what they want in their collection. I hope a lot of the hype and daft prices for largely common items dies down over the next year and everyone can get to collecting what makes them happy, vs collecting what a FB group leads you to believe what a collection should consist of. It's certainly a lot more healthy and satisfying, in my opinion. Chris [/QUOTE]
