Yeah, you never see anyone post a picture entitled "bad mail day" where all they get is a massive pile of credit card bills and a ****ed bank account with a zero balance.
I could probably get enough credit this afternoon from credit cards to buy pretty much any piece that takes my fancy that might come up today. I could own any one of a number of grail items. They wouldn't actually be mine; all I would have done would have been to throw a shitload of cash out there, and there would be zero achievement but I would probably end up with about 400 new Facebook friends and a couple of pictures with a load of comments.
It's nice to receive compliments about your collection, but this not why most collect. I personally prefer the journey to the end, although I will confirm that if I ever get to the end. It's the journey where you meet people, see other collections, chat with other collectors and have the fun of sniffing out nice pieces.
I am very glad though I found the forum before the Facebook groups. I have identified and made friends of Facebook, but generally only people I have met or conversed with in real life. It is more clicky than the forums and there is not the same level of interaction. There are far more trolls and far less knowledge and everyone is an expert.
