But KZ it doesn't have to be that way with all collectors;only a few.Case in point:a good friend and I were about to get into it over a sign until his wife said "no sign is worth that".We are still very good friends and someone else has the sign.
Allen,my advice is to cull out other collectors (there will be more)until you can retreat into what I call "my comfort zone".Then,say nothing at all of consequence to anyone outside that zone of comfort because it will cost you something in the end;money,enjoyment of the hobby,peace of mind and so on.
It works for me;others may feel differently.
